Hicksville
Historic Village [1]
This village is across the river Kiskiminetas from the borough of Avonmore, a thriving town of Westmoreland County. Just west of Hicksville the Pennsylvania road crosses to the north side of the river, from this point using the old bed of the Pennsylvania Canal, which has been abandoned by them from Leechburg to this point. This gives Hicksville more direct railroad connection than Apollo, but the place has not benefited by it, having become overshadowed by its neighbor, Avonmore. The only distinction claimed for Hicksville is that of being the most southern village in Armstrong County, the boundaries coming almost to a point here.
