| has gloss | deu: Renfrew ist ein Dorf entlang der Connoquenessing Creek in Penn Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, Vereinigte Staaten. Es wurde 1882 von David A. Renfrew auf seinem eigenen Gelände gegründet. Kurz danach wurde in der Umgebung des Dorfes Öl gefunden, sodass das Dorf recht lebendig war. Es gab unter anderem eine Tankstelle, ein Postamt und mehrere Läden. Die Geschäfte sind inzwischen leer, nur noch die Methodisten-Kirche wird aktiv genutzt. Im September 2004 setzten Ausläufer des Hurrikan Ivan das Dorf unter Wasser. |
