Keystone State Park was first opened to the public in 1945. The boroughs within the limits of the Township are New Alexandria and Derry, as well as the City of Latrobe. The Township is bounded on the north by the Conemaugh River, which separates Westmoreland from Indiana County on the east by the Townships of Fairfield and Ligonier, the dividing line being the crest of Chestnut Ridge on the south by Unity and Salem Township, the natural boundary line being the Loyalhanna Creek and on the northwest by the Township of Loyalhanna. It was cut down by the formation of Indiana County and by the formation of Loyalhanna Township on the Westmoreland side. It was, therefore, much larger originally than at the present time. The original boundaries as they were in 1775 began at Loyalhanna and ran thence to the Conemaugh River and down the river to the Kiskiminetas, and thence by the Loyalhanna to the beginning.
It was established and organized by the Court of Quarter Sessions at the April term of court at Hannastown in 1775. One of the largest and most important townships in Westmoreland County is the Township of Derry.
