Johnstown is located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Johnstown, settled in 1770, is perhaps most famous for its three floods. The "Great Flood" of May 31, 1889 and the other major floods occuring in 1936 and 1977.

Johnstown was founded in 1800 by the Swiss German settler Joseph Johns. Johnstown lies at the formation of the Conemaugh River. In 2003, the US Census data showed that Johnstown was the city in the United States least likely to attract newcomers.

T he Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, a venue at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, continues to attract high-quality performers. The Johnstown Symphony Orchestra and the recently-formed Johnstown Symphony Chamber Players provide high quality classical music. The Pasquerilla Convention Center was recently constructed in the downtown area, adjacent to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena. The Bottleworks Ethnic Arts Center offers many exhibitions, events, performances, and classes. Johnstown hosts the annual Thunder in the Valley motorcycle rally during the fourth week of June.
