PennDOT is divided into 11 engineering districts across PA, numbered one to 12. You may notice those numbers are off – because there is no District 7. Why? Many PennDOT employees don’t even know. We found a 2003 newsletter article that helps shed some light. When the PA State Highway Department was created in 1903, PA was broken into eight divisions, including division seven. Those divisions were eventually expanded into 12 and remained in place until 1939, when division seven started to disappear from maps included on the title sheets of Construction Right-of-Way Plans. Eventually, the divisions were renamed districts and division seven was incorporated into the current District 8. We don’t know the “why” behind this decision. But District 7 never reappeared, even after the Dept. of Highways became PennDOT in 1970. #TheMoreYouKnow #PennDOTHistory
