Kane is a borough in McKean County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, 94 miles (151 km) east by southeast of Erie. It was founded in 1864 by Civil War General Thomas L. Kane of the famous Bucktail Regiment at an elevated site 2210 feet (674 m) above sea level. In the early part of the 20th century, Kane had large glass works, bottle works, lumber mills, and manufactures of brush handles, saws, cutlery, screen doors and windows. The population peaked in the 1920s but has since declined to 3,612 people in 2020.[4]
It is the home of the Kane Area School District, and they are known as the Kane Wolves.
Famous residents of Kane include Chuck Daly, two-time NBA Champion and 1992 Olympic gold medalist coach; Amy Rudolph, an Olympic distance runner and qualifier in the 1996 and 2000 Summer Games; composer Maryanne Amacher; and Evan O'Neill Kane, a surgeon known for removing his own appendix and repairing his own hernia under local anesthetic.
