Her strong work ethic and attention to detail led her to become Controller for five dealerships within a large automotive group before partnering with her father to take ownership of Ballou CDJR.

A Brief History of Brookville, Pennsylvania

Tucked into the heart of Jefferson County, Brookville, Pennsylvania is a small town with a big story to tell. Founded in the early 1800s, Brookville grew up along the banks of Brookville Creek, where rich forests and land and fresh running water drew some of the region's earliest settlers. What began as a quiet pioneer settlement quickly became a thriving center for timber, coal, and agriculture.

Long before European settlers arrived, the area was home to the Lenape people, who lived in harmony with the land. As trade routes developed and westward expansion took hold, Brookville became a vital stop for travelers and merchants. In 1830, the town was officially founded, and by 1868, it had grown enough to be incorporated as a borough.

The mid-1800s were a time of incredible growth. The arrival of the railroad connected Brookville to larger markets and helped the local economy boom. Timber and coal from the surrounding hills were shipped out by train, supporting industries across the country. During the Civil War, many local men answered the call to serve, while those who stayed behind worked in the mills and mines to support the Union cause.

By the early 1900s, Brookville had become the proud county seat of Jefferson County. New schools, churches, and businesses took root, and the town began to develop the charming main street and historic architecture that residents and visitors still admire today. Through the Great Depression and both World Wars, Brookville remained strong as community built on resilience, faith, and hard work.

Today, Brookville continues to balance its proud history with a vibrant present. The town's Historic District, welcoming downtown shops, and beautiful outdoor surroundings reflect a community that honors its past while looking toward the future. Whether you're visiting for the first time or have lived here your whole life, there's something special about the way Brookville feels - friendly, genuine, and full of heart.

At Ballou Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we're proud to be part of this incredible town. As a family-owned dealership, we share Brookville's commitment to community, integrity, and great service. The Ballou family is honored to continue the tradition of hard work and hospitality that has defined Brookville for generations, serving our friends and neighbors right here in the place we're proud to call home.
