    History

    Settled in 1812 and platted in 1872, DuBois was incorporated as a borough in 1881 and as a city in 1914.

    The town was founded by John Rumbarger, for whom the town was originally named. The Rumbarger Cemetery is all that survives of this original settlement. The town was later renamed for local lumber magnate John DuBois, who came from a longstanding American family of French Huguenot descent. In 1938, his nephew, John E. DuBois, donated the family mansion and estate as a permanent home for the DuBois Campus of Penn State University. While DuBois was founded as a lumber town, the mining of bituminous coal quickly became the chief industry in DuBois.

    Dubois

    Dubois died today
    his family was pleased
    'cause he'd always complained
    he couldn't get sleep
    so what was it for
    please
    what was it for
    Well you don't mind me not
    saying
    what I do think of
    you bury him smiling
    telling us all what a loss
    and at what a cost
    His friends all came to pay
    their homage to greed
    they'd sit here all greed
    like vultures they'd feed
    so what was it for
    please
    what was it for
    Well you don't mind me not
    saying
    what I do think of
    you bury him smiling
    telling us all what a loss
    and at what a cost
    Dubois died today
    left us in peace
    they found him they say
    at the bottom of the sea
    so what was it for
    please
    what was it for
    Well you don't mind me not
    saying
    what I do think of
    you bury him smiling
    telling us all what a loss
