Sligo, Pennsylvania

Sligo is a borough in southwestern Clarion County, Pennsylvania, in the United States, named after the town of Sligo in Ireland. It sits in the valley of Licking Creek, a tributary of the Clarion River, among rolling hills, on land that once lay above a rich vein of coal. Pennsylvania Route 68 passes through the borough, leading northeast about 18 kilometres to Clarion, the county seat, and southwest about 21 kilometres to East Brady on the Allegheny River, while Pennsylvania Route 58 leads west to Foxburg. The borough covers about 3.7 square kilometres, almost all of it land. It had 728 residents at the 2000 census and 686 at the 2020 census, so it is a small and slowly shrinking community.
