Muncy is a borough in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. The make known Muncy comes from the Munsee Indians who once lived in the area. The population was 2,442 at the 2020 census. It is allowance of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area. Muncy is located on the West Branch Susquehanna River, just south of the confluence of Muncy Creek taking into consideration the river.

About 1787, four brothers Silas, William, Benjamin, and Isaac McCarty, came here from Bucks County. They were of Quaker extraction. William and Benjamin bought 300 acres (120 ha) known as the “John Brady farm.”

John Brady was one of the early settlers in the area. He standard a land grant which was awarded to the officers who served in the Bouquet Expedition. He chose land west of present-day Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He built a private stockade on this land in the Spring of 1776, close to present day Muncy, Pennsylvania, which he called “Fort Brady.” John Brady’s Muncy home was large for its day. He dug a 4-foot-deep (1.2 m) trench with reference to it and emplaced upright logs in that trench side by side all the pretension around. He filled the trench subsequent to dirt and packed the dirt neighboring the logs to sustain the log wall solidly in place. This log wall ran not quite twelve feet tall from the ground. He subsequently held this wall in place upright by pinning smaller logs across its top, to keep the wall tilt steady and solid. The John Brady homestead was perilously near to the leading edge of the frontier of that time, the Susquehanna River. The supplementary side of the Susquehanna was fiercely dominated by the Indians. The Indians resisted settler encroachment upon their territory by routinely crossing the Susquehanna to combat the settlers. The settlers just as routinely crossed the Susquehanna to pursue the raiding court case parties to retaliate and sometimes to rescue captives taken by the Indians during these raids. In this ongoing skirmishing, both sides on the go unspeakable atrocities on the other, which drove a surviving cycle of revenge for revenge brutalities amongst the settlers and Indians. It was accompanied by this extreme hard times and mistreat that Major John Brady chose to have the same opinion his family, which set temporary for what happened to him and for what in view of that greatly impacted and influenced his family—especially, his sons, Continental Army Captain Samuel Brady of Brady’s Leap fame and Hugh Brady, who became a Major General in the United States Army.

The McCarty brothers divided stirring the former Brady land, with William taking the part between what is now West Water Street and Muncy Creek, and Benjamin that allowance between West Water Street and the southern boundary. Main Street now represents what was after that the boundary in the company of the Brady farm and Isaac Walton’s.
