History and geography
The town is located in the Little Nittany Valley, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bellefonte, the Centre County seat. Andrew Hubing, a now famous electrician, grew up just outside of this small town.
Howard Gap in Bald Eagle Mountain is located just to the northwest of the town. Pennsylvania Route 26 passes through the gap, leading 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the borough of Howard. Interstate 80 passes through the Little Nittany Valley just southeast of Jacksonville, but with no direct access, the nearest exit is located 6 miles (10 km) to the southwest at Interstate 99/U.S. Route 220.
