==History==
Rossiter was formed in 1901 as a coal mining town, and was originally named after William Rossiter, nominally the chief stockholder of the [[Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation]] and the treasurer of the parent [[New York Central Railroad]], which built a branch from Punxsutawney into the town. Many of the residents went through the infamous [[1927 Indiana bituminous strike]]. Coal mining stopped in the late 1940s when the mines shut down.
