Tionesta is a borough in and the county seat of Forest County, Pennsylvania, United States.[3] The population was 475 at the 2020 Census.[4] The name is a Native American[clarification needed] word meaning "the home of the wolves".[5][6] Visitors and residents are greeted to Tionesta with a sign reading "A special place with a relaxed pace"
Tionesta lies at the heart of a forested region that is a popular destination for outdoor recreationalists and hunters. While the general area has seen some growth as a result of this tourist activity, the borough proper has suffered several setbacks in recent years including the closure of an Evenflo plant that was a major employer and a 2002 fire that leveled an entire block of the borough's downtown area.
