Lock Haven is the county seat of Clinton County, in the U. S. state of Pennsylvania. Located near the confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek, it is the principal city of the Lock Haven Micropolitan Statistical Area, itself part of the Williamsport–Lock Haven combined statistical area. At the 2010 census, Lock Haven's population was 9,772. Built on a site long favored by pre-Columbian peoples, Lock Haven began in 1833 as a timber town and a haven for loggers and other travelers on the river or the West Branch Canal. Resource extraction and efficient transportation financed much of the city's growth through the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century, a light-aircraft factory, a college, a paper mill, along with many smaller enterprises, drove the economy. Frequent floods in 1972, damaged local industry and led to a high rate of unemployment in the 1980s; the city has three sites on the National Register of Historic Places—Memorial Park Site, a significant pre-Columbian archaeological find.

A levee, completed in 1995, protects the city from further flooding. While industry remains important to the city, about a third of Lock Haven's workforce is employed in education, health care, or social services; the earliest settlers in Pennsylvania arrived from Asia between 12000 BCE and 8000 BCE, when the glaciers of the Pleistocene Ice Age were receding. Fluted point spearheads from this era, known as the Paleo-Indian Period, have been found in most parts of the state. Archeological discoveries at the Memorial Park Site 36Cn164 near the confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek collectively span about 8,000 years and represent every major prehistoric period from the Middle Archaic to the Late Woodland period. Prehistoric cultural periods over that span included the Middle Archaic starting at 6500 BCE. First contact with Europeans occurred in Pennsylvania between 1500 and 1600 CE. In the early 18th century, a tribal confederacy known as the Six Nations of the Iroquois, headquartered in New York, ruled the Indian tribes of Pennsylvania, including those who lived near what would become Lock Haven.

Indian settlements in the area included three Munsee villages on the 325-acre Great Island in the West Branch Susquehanna River at the mouth of Bald Eagle Creek. Four Indian trails, the Great Island Path, the Great Shamokin Path, the Bald Eagle Creek Path, the Sinnemahoning Path, crossed the island, a fifth, Logan's Path, met Bald Eagle Creek Path a few miles upstream near the mouth of Fishing Creek. During the French and Indian War, colonial militiamen on the Kittanning Expedition destroyed Munsee property on the Great Island and along the West Branch. By 1763, the Munsee had abandoned other villages in the area. With the signing of the first Treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768, the British gained control from the Iroquois of lands south of the West Branch. However, white settlers continued to appropriate land, including tracts in and near the future site of Lock Haven, not covered by the treaty. In 1769, Cleary Campbell, the first white settler in the area, built a log cabin near the present site of Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, by 1773 William Reed, another settler, had built a cabin surrounded by a stockade and called it Reed's Fort.

It was the westernmost of 11 primitive forts along the West Branch. In response to settler incursions, encouraged by the British during the American Revolution, Indians attacked colonists and their settlements along the West Branch. Fort Reed and the other white settlements in the area were temporarily abandoned in 1778 during a general evacuation known as the Big Runaway. Hundreds of people fled along the river about 50 miles from Fort Reed. In 1784, the second Treaty of Fort Stanwix, between the Iroquois and the United States, transferred most of the remaining Indian territory in Pennsylvania, including what would become Lock Haven, to the state; the U. S. acquired the last remaining tract, the Erie Triangle, through a separate treaty and sold it to Pennsylvania in 1792. Lock Haven was laid out as a town in 1833, it became the county seat in 1839, when Clinton County was created out of parts of Lycoming and Centre counties. Incorporated as a borough in 1840 and as a city in 1870, Lock Haven prospered in the 19th century because of timber and transportation.

The forests of Clinton County and counties upriver held a huge supply of white pine and hemlock as well as oak, maple, cherry and magnolia. The wood was used locally for such things as frame houses, canal boats, wooden bridges, whole logs were floated to Chesapeake Bay and on to Baltimore, to make spars for ships. Log driving and log rafting, competing forms of transporting logs to sawmills, began along the West Branch around 1800. By 1830 before the founding of the town, the lumber industry was well established; the West Branch Canal, which opened in 1834, ran 73 miles from Northumberland to Farrandsville, about 5 miles upstream from Lock Haven. A state-funded extension called the Bald Eagle Cut ran from the West Branch through Lock Haven and Flemington to Bald Eagle Creek. A funded extension, the Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation, eventually

Smolny Convent or Smolny Convent of the Resurrection, located on Ploschad Rastrelli, on the bank of the River Neva in Saint Petersburg, consists of a cathedral and a complex of buildings surrounding it intended for a convent. This Russian Orthodox convent was built to house the daughter of Peter the Great. After she was disallowed succession to the throne, she opted to become a nun. However, her Imperial predecessor, Ivan VI, was overthrown during a coup d'état. Elizabeth accepted the offer of the Russian throne. Work on the convent continued with her royal patronage; the convent's main church, a blue-and-white building, is considered to be one of the architectural masterpieces of the Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who redesigned the Winter Palace, created the Grand Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, the Grand Palace in Peterhof and many other major St. Petersburg landmarks; the Cathedral is the centerpiece of the convent, built by Rastrelli between 1748 and 1764. The projected bell-tower was to become the tallest building in St. Petersburg and, at the time, all of Russia.

Elizabeth's death in 1762 prevented Rastrelli from completing this grand design. When Catherine II assumed the throne, it was found that the new Empress disapproved of the baroque style, funding that had supported the construction of the convent ran out. Rastrelli was unable to build the huge bell-tower he had planned and unable to finish the interior of the cathedral; the building was only finished in 1835 by Vasily Stasov with the addition of a neo-classical interior to suit the changed architectural tastes at the time. The cathedral was consecrated on 22 July 1835; the church was closed by the Soviet authorities in 1923. It was allowed to decay until 1982, when it became a concert hall; the faculties of sociology, political science and international relations of the Saint Petersburg State University are located in some of the buildings surrounding the cathedral. In April 2015 Smolny Cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, will be converted back to its original purpose as a church.

The nearby Smolny Institute is named after the convent. The name "Smolny" derives from the location. In the early days of St. Petersburg the place at the edge of the city where pitch was processed for use in shipbuilding and maintenance; as a result, the locale was called "smolny" - the place of pitch.
