The Roaring Spring Historic District is located within the Borough of Roaring Spring, a paper-mill town of about 2, 600 established in the late 1860s in southern Blair County, south-central Pennsylvania.

Roaring Spring is situated within the northwest quadrant of a long bowl-like valley known as Morrisons Cove, one of dozens of long but broad valleys in Pennsylvania's Ridge and Valley region.

The site of Roaring Spring is moderately hilly, drained by Cabbage and Halter Creeks.

The most prominent natural feature is the Big Spring, or Roaring Spring, a large natural limestone spring so-called because of the great noise its eight-million-gallon-a-day stream once made rushing out of the hillside near the village center.

Roaring Spring is overwhelmingly residential ( 91 percent ) in scale, but also includes churches, stops, professional offices, a municipal building, parks, a cemetery, a book factory complex, and a former railroad station.

Also adjoining the park at the west side is the surviving building ( 1904 ) from the Roaring Spring Planing Mill Company.

The Roaring Spring Historic District is locally significant in the areas of architecture, industry and social history as an excellent example of a paternally founded and managed paper-mill town in central Pennsylvania, one whose architecture reflects how the growth of a hometown, family-owned industry stimulated and, in many cases, directed the development patterns and architectural character of the community.
