Antis Township, a Township of the Second Class, was organized in August of 1810 in Huntingdon County Pennsylvania. The Township was made part of Blair County by the Act of February 26, 1846. Located in North Central Blair County, Antis Township ranks among the top townships of the county in size and valuation.Antis Township, named for Revolutionary War Colonel Frederick Antes, is a small picturesque central Pennsylvania community of approximately 6,328 residents. Situated in Logan Valley, settlers began making their homes in the area by the late 1700's. The rural location of the Township make it a highly desirable destination spot for outdoor enthusiasts. Trout streams are legendary to in-the-know fishermen, while the pristine countryside makes camping, biking and hiking extremely enjoyable.

If you listen closely on a Saturday afternoon, you can almost hear the crowd at Beaver Stadium cheering the Nittany Lions on toward victory.The Antis Township community is growing and is expecting to grow even more with the upcoming completion of the199 Corridor. This new highway promises to bring a lot of development to our area. However, community leaders are staying closely involved in all stages of development processes to insure that growth takes place in a way that is responsible and does not compromise the natural beauty of the area that attracted the first visitors to make Antis Township their home.
