The village of Lemont [french for mountain] grew in the 1870's as a result of its position at the end of Nittany Mountain plus its location at an important crossroads of four major roads of early Centre County. Since this was a crossroads the land was very accessible to settlers coming in search of good farmland. In addition Spring Creek literally cuts the village in half, in the past it also provided an impetus for early farmers.
