Welcome
"Best Place to Live — Best Place to Work"
On January 5, 2026, the former municipalities of Sandy Township and the City of DuBois consolidated to create the new City of DuBois. It was a monumental event celebrated by a number of local and state dignitaries.
This charming City, located in Western Pennsylvania northeast of Pittsburgh and southeast of Erie, is surrounded by forests, streams, and wildlife - a nature-lovers and hunter’s paradise. For the wildlife lovers, the Elk herds in Elk County are just 18 miles to the north.
This quaint City is a powerhouse for baseball and softball. DuBois hosts multiple tournaments at the prestigious Showers, Heindl, and Stern fields including the Small College World Series, the Eastern Regional Little League Tournament, the PIAA State games and PBR to name a few. DuBois’s ballfields are rated the best in the tri-state area.
We also have culture in the Reitz Theater, a local theater group which puts on plays throughout the year; the Winkler Gallery, a place for budding artists to perfect their craft; and Musicfest held Thursday evenings in the summer on the stage in the DuBois Memorial Park.
Penn State University has a local campus here. We also boast a state of the art medical facility at Penn Highlands Healthcare, and the DuBois Regional Airport is a mere eight miles from the City center.
DuBois is also surrounded by major highways: US 219, Interstate 80 and Route 322 making us an excellent hub for commerce.
Motorists are advised that Shaffer Road between Midway Drive and the Lowe's entrance will be closed for construction work June 1, 2026, through June 4, 2026.
Please make alternate plans for travel while improvements are being made.
