A Frenchman named M. Generet (pronounced Jandray) built the first house in 1806, just outside of our borough across the Mckean County Line. From this log cabin, covered with Shingles and nestled among the huge pine trees, our village received its name. Jander’s Run, a small tributary entering the Oswayo River from the south, is named after him in a corrupted form.It is assumed that M. Gneret may have been a deserter from the French Army.

I read somewhere that Jander Run marks the first navigable source of the Ohio River. -jcw 20190314HAv
