Geocache Description:

#13 of 24 hours of cache race. This cache should NOT be accessed from route 30. USE PARKING COORDS!

Greetings from Jayhawk Country! First incorporated as a borough on June 7, 1889,Jeannette earned the nickname as "the glass city" in recognition of the numerous glass plants founded in the area, with those factories contributing to the city's original stature as the first large manufacturing town in Westmoreland County. In fact, the impact of the glass industry was so significant that the city's name actually comes from Jeannette E. Hartupee McKee, the wife of H. Sellers McKee, a local industrialist who cofounded the Chambers and McKee Glass Works and was a member of the elite South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club of Johnstown Flood fame. Mckee and his partner J.A. Chambers also have the distinction of naming Jeannette's main street, Clay Avenue after their financial backer, Richard W. Clay. On January 1, 1938 Jeannette became a third class city with Attorney John M. OConnell as the first mayor. In 1999 High School Football season the Jeannette Jayhawks closed the season by winning the WPIAL championship on a 550 game winning streak! The 3rd most consecutive wins in Western Pa. The Jayhawks hold 6 WPIAL titles the most in Westmoreland county! This cache should NOT be accessed from route 30. USE PARKING COORDS!
