Meadville is no picturesque small town fantasy. With a population of just 13,050, this county seat in northwestern Pennsylvania offers a heavy tax burden and a persistently chilly climate. The city's history as a hub for industry, from zippers to tool manufacturing, has left it with a legacy of bureaucratic headaches. Yet Meadville has maintained a quirky charm, from its historic downtown market to the log cabin of its founder. Those drawn to a slower pace of life and access to liberal arts education at Allegheny College may find Meadville a suitable, if unglamorous, landing spot.
