Cannelton, Pennsylvania is an unincorporated community located in Darlington Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Settled in 1795, the Darlington Cannel Coal Railroad was built there starting in 1852[1] eventually connecting to the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Galilee, Pennsylvania. Cannelton derived its name from the cannel coal that was mined there beginning in 1838.[2]
