This area is known for its' crude oil, which has superior qualities, free of asphaltic constituents. The widely known Kendall racing oils were produced in the town of Bradford. The town of Bradford's population peaked during the mid-20th century, but as of the 2000 census, it stood at 9,175 residents.

Bradford is also just a short drive to the Allegheny National Forest, which is the only national forest in the state of Pennsylvania. There are many miles of hiking trails in the town, and local Callahan park offers tennis courts, swimming pools, playground equipment and a skate park.

Bradford Weather & Climate

Western New York experiences four distinct seasons. Average January temperatures are above 22 degrees Fahrenheit. The Buffalo area receives some of the heaviest snowfalls in the nation, and over half of the annual snowfall comes from "lake effect" snows and is localized. Summer temperatures average around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The average date of the last frost is near the end of April in the Buffalo metro area, but in mid May well inland. Summer is pleasant in this region, with plentiful sunshine, warm temperatures and moderate levels of humidity. Rainfall is adequate, many times coming at night so that it's seldom a problem for outdoor activities. The stabilizing effect of Lake Erie helps inhibit thunderstorms and modifies the extreme heat that approaches from the Ohio Valley.
