Young Township is a township in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,716 at the 2020 census.[2] It was named for John Young, the pioneer judge of Westmoreland County.[3] Young Township is the location of adjacent Punxsutawney's Groundhog Day celebration each February 2, during which thousands of attendees and international media outlets visit for an annual weather prediction by the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. Although named for Punxsutawney, the actual prediction location, Gobbler's Knob, is in Young Township.[4][5]
