Linesville is a borough in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 961 at the 2020 census,[4] down from 987 at the 2019 census.[6] The town derives its name from its founders, who included William Line (the grandson of a Swiss immigrant), who migrated from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, circa the early 1820s,[7] and his relative, Amos Line, who was the town's surveyor and main proprietor.[8][9] Amos Line "penetrated the western Pennsylvania wilderness as a member of the Pennsylvania Population Company in the early 1800s."[10]
