    It's History & Resources

    It's History

      

    Slippery Rock is a borough in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,625 at the 2010 census. It is home to the Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.

    Geography

    Slippery Rock is located in northwest Butler County. The borough has a total area of 1.7 square miles, all of it land. Slippery Rock Creek, the borough's namesake, runs through a valley 2 miles south of the borough.


    Since the 1960s Slippery Rock has been well served by the Interstate Highway system as Interstate 79(north-south) and Interstate 80 (east-west) cross 12 miles to the north. The closest access to I-79 is 4 miles to the west on Pennsylvania Route 108. PA 258 (N. Main Street) leads northwest 7.7 miles to I-79.  The terrain around Slippery Rock is hilly, and the strip mining of coal has been a prominent commercial activity in the surrounding area, which is largely agricultural.


    Demographics

    As of 2000, there were 3,068 people, 977 households, and 387 families residing in the borough. The population density was 1,820.4 people per square mile. There were 1,039 housing units at an average density of 616.5 per square mile. The racial makeup of the borough was 91.30% White, 3.26% African American, 0.20% Native American, 3.29% Asian, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 0.68% from other races, and 1.21% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.11% of the population.  The median income for a household in the borough was $24,554, and the median income for a family was $42,450. Males had a median income of $37,188 versus $30,104 for females. The per capita income for the borough was $13,538. About 10.1% of families and 42.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 11.0% of those under age 18 and 8.0% of those age 65 or over.


    SLIPPERY ROCK TOWNSHIP HISTORY

    PRIOR to 1800 Butler County formed a portion of Allegheny, its territory being divided into four townships, one of which was named Slippery Rock. Its area comprised the northwestern quarter of the county. In 1804, when the county was divided into thirteen townships, its territory was considerably reduced. A further reduction took place in the final re-subdivision in 1854, when it was cut down to its present area. The township derives its name from Slippery Rock Creek, which flows in a westerly direction through its territory.

    The elevations of the divide between this creek and the Wolf Creek range are from 1,150 to 1,300 feet above ocean level. The soil partakes of the character of the limestone on which it rests.


    Coal is abundant and gas reservoirs are numerous. A coal bank on the Isaac Davidson farm is supposed to have been opened in the thirties. On the Lewis Patterson farm, Stephen Osmer opened a mine, which was abandoned in 1845 Thomas McGaffic opened a bank on the same farm, after the war, which was a producer down to 1887. On the Ezekiel Wilson farm is an old slope near where the Edward Christley mine was worked. The W. S. Bingham Hank was opened in the eighties. Banks were at one time working on the John Wolford and the Nathaniel Cooper farms, but were abandoned years ago. Coal is still mined on the farm of John Reed, north of Centreville.


    Fifty years ago two salt wells were drilled on the Edmund Smith farm, north of Centreville. Gas flowed with the water, and it was determined to use the vapor for fuel. The result was disastrous, pans and machinery were blown up,

    The population in 1810 was 458; in 1820, 865; 1830, 1,541; 1810, 1,507: 1850, 1,490; 1860, six years after the re-subdivision of the county, 993; 1870, 879; 1880, 1,424; 1890, 1,247.

    Household Scrap Metal & More

    Plenty of people showed up at our center with residential scrap-- old radiators, old boilers, washing machines and dryers, dishwashers, and even pipes from old plumbing-- and tell us that they never ever knew there was a scrap yard near me that would give them cold, hard cash in their pocket for all this old "junk" before!


    No matter if you are just enhancing and updating old appliances, removing and redoing rooms in your property, or just have a lot of old scrap laying around that you'd rather not deal with and wish to make money to do away with it in lieu of the need to pay someone to get rid of it for you we here at Bob's Auto & Salvage are more than thrilled to help.


    Not only that, but we aren't ever going to waste your time or your energy by having you track all of that household scrap down to our facility without understanding almost exactly just how much cash will be able to put in your wallet at the end of the day.


    That's right, all you will need to do is contact one of our scrap metal team members (via phone or email) and will do some rough "back of the napkin" math to speculate just about how much money we can hand over to you for that scrap to ensure you know whether it's worth your time. You can also check out our full pricing list on our website page at www.bobsautoandsalvage.com before you come by.


    We think you'll find (more often than not) that making the choice to get a hold of our scrap metal recycling center can put a lot more money in your hand for your junk than you would have guessed possible before!


    Cash For Your Car

    Don't forget that old "Cash for Clunkers" program the government ran a little while back that paid people good money for bad cars, in spite of whether they run any longer.


    Well, picture us here at Bob's Auto & Salvage as the next best thing to that same program!

    While we don't sell any auto parts out of our salvage yard here at Bob's we are more than happy to take almost any car or truck (roadworthy or not) into our scrap yard near me in exchange for cash, so long as you have the title documentation in hand.


    If you've got a title and an automotive that needs to be junked, we've got money for you!

    If the car that you wish to junk can possibly be driven onto our Butler location by all means come by any time during our regular business operations. If, on the other hand, you're wishing to scrap out a car that will run and has no real business on the road (we get them in here all the time) just drop us a line-- via phone or email-- to let us know a time that's suitable for you to drop the car off and will have someone waiting for you.


    Since we've been at this for such a number of years we understand precisely how to streamline the process considerably, guiding you step-by-step through the scrap out process and letting you know exactly the amount of your vehicle is worth.


    We constantly offer fair, reasonable prices (usually top dollar) and if you get a hold of us beforehand will give you a ballpark figure that has no commitment attached whatsoever you can also verify our pricing on our web page at www.bobsautoandsalvage.com

    100% Transparency and We Pay Cash!

      

    We recognize there are some other scrap yard near me places that might be interested in earning your business, and that there are plenty of other auto salvage near me facilities near Slippery Rock that are trying to convince you to come down and give them a shot.


    But there's a real incentive we have been offering and as rated as the optimal in the business throughout Butler and Allegheny counties and a big part of that is that we always-- ALWAYS-- pay cash for any scrap metal that you bring by our facilities.


    All of our weighing scales are cutting-edge and top-of-the-line, calibrated regularly. Each and every one of our weighing stations is totally validated by the state of Pennsylvania also, and each of our payout slips includes total clarity and EXACT weight for everything that you have brought in.


    This is NOT the kind of scrapyard that you'll leave feeling like you were taken advantage of. Everything is executed black-and-white, completely trustworthy, and with total transparency-- and if after we weighed out the metal that you bring in for scrap you aren't happy with the dollar figure we provide to pay you, you are under definitely zero agreement to take our deal.

    Other places will promise the money in the stars when it comes to scrap payouts, offering 100% cash options but adding in small print that puts a hard dollar limit on those kinds of payouts or extents those payments out over a certain block of time.


    You won't find any misleading words here at Bobs Auto & Salvage. Our word is our bond and our offer of 100% cash on the table when you bring your scrap in is good and clear across the board.


    No matter if you have a pickup bed overflowing with copper that you want to throw out, development projects scrap that you want to earn money for getting rid of (rather than having to pay someone to take away), or just have a little bit of scrap you'd like to change into money while doing your best for the local and global environment it's our commitment to pay our customers in cash no matter what.


    Since 1996 we have operated as a cash first business and we are determined to continue operating Bob's Auto & Salvage the same way for this long as we are blessed to be a partner in this community.


    Come on by, we would love to help you.
