Chaneysville is an unincorporated community in Southampton Township, southern Bedford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is named after Thomas Chaney, Jr., who established the area’s first home in the 1830s. [2]
Chaneysville was a self-sufficient village with local businesses, such as blacksmiths, a tannery, and grist mills. The village was also notable for its role as a stop on the Underground Railroad, assisting runaway enslaved people on their journey north. The village maintains a legacy of community spirit, reflected in its active churches and a volunteer fire company.
