Erie National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1959. The first lands for the
refuge were purchased with funds provided from the sale of the Migratory Bird
Hunting and Conservation Stamps (also known as Duck stamps). Erie refuge is a
namesake of the Erie Indians, a Native American tribe that resided in the
area.

The refuge is not on the shores of Lake Erie, but lies in Crawford County, 35
miles south of the city of Erie and Lake Erie in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Erie is the only refuge in the nation protecting endangered northern
riffleshell and clubshell mussels. French Creek, the most biologically diverse
stream in Pennsylvania, flows near the Refuge where over 80 species of native
fish are found. The refuge is designated as an Important Bird Area by the
National Audubon Society and attracts more than 230 species of birds.
