Jermyn Borough was incorporated as Gibsonburg in 1870 from Blakely Township (now Blakely Borough) but changed its name in 1874 in honor of John Jermyn, a wealthy Englishman with mining interests in the area. Jermyn's claim-to-fame as the Birthplace of First Aid came to be in 1899 when Dr. Matthew Shields of the borough developed a simple, but comprehensive method for treating injuries, the result of years of caring for injured miners.
