Strengthening Community Safety Through Leadership and Partnership
South Pymatuning Township and the Borough of Sharpsville have formalized a joint municipal agreement that establishes mutual support and emergency backup between our departments. Our South Pymatuning Police Department remains the foundation of law enforcement and safety across our neighborhoods, roads, and community. What makes this agreement significant is the added layer of depth and coordination it provides across municipal lines. Whether our officers are handling calls, tied up in court, or responding to high-priority incidents, our community now has organized and established support from the Sharpsville Police Department. As part of this shared agreement, residents may from time to time see Sharpsville Borough police cruisers in the township assisting our department or responding to emergency calls in our area. This joint municipal agreement is the direct result of the dedicated work and collaboration of South Pymatuning Police Chief Matthew Roth and Sharpsville Borough Police Chief Frank Joseph. Both Chief Roth and Chief Joseph recognized that public safety is best served through close cooperation, proactive planning, and practical leadership. Working together, they built a framework that keeps our officers supported, leverages regional resources, and ensures our residents remain protected. On behalf of the Township Board of Supervisors, thank you to Chief Roth, Chief Joseph, and the officers of both departments for their professionalism and continued service to our communities.

Township History
The history of the township was compiled and printed in 1977 by a committee consisting of Orvis Anderson, Louis Haun, Larry Kitch, and Stanley Stewart. Following are excerpts from the history book:
South Pymatuning, the only new township in the past one hundred twenty years of Mercer County history, was formed from Pymatuning Township by a court decree dated December 7, 1914.
The area of our township was included in the following larger areas before our county was formed in 1800: first Northwest Territory of Pennsylvania, then Westmoreland County, later Allegheny County, and finally Mercer County in 1800. The northwest section of Mercer County was first called Salem Township. Then in 1806 the southern part became Pymatuning Township, from which our township was formed in 1914.
The size of the township as stated by the court decree remained unchanged until after 1950, when the United States Government started to acquire land for the construction of the Shenango Reservoir. Of the 15,000 acres of land purchased by the U.S. Government for the Shenango Reservoir Area, South Pymatuning Township lost a larger portion than any other political unit. In addition to the land acquired by the federal government, the entire southeast section of the township lying south and east of Clarksville was annexed by the Borough of Clark in 1960.
There are a number of reasons to believe that the area of South Pymatuning Township had an extensive Indian habitation. Many artifacts, the stone weapons and tools of the Indians, have been collected in this area since the coming of the early settlers.
