The discovery of coal in Erie drew settlers to the region in the mid-1800s. By 1870, the railroad arrived. The town was officially incorporated in 1874 and celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2024. Erie was one of the only “wet” towns in the area, and in the late 1800s, Briggs Street was lined with nearly a dozen saloons. This stretch of downtown remains a popular destination today, featuring great restaurants, shops and services.

In Erie, you’ll find a large inventory of spacious high-end homes on large lots, smaller single-family homes, and upscale condominiums and townhouses.
