Cross Fork is a small, unincorporated settlement with a population of just over 100 residents. The village takes its name from its location and the meeting of Cross Fork Creek and Kettle Creek. In the early 1900s, the area was more vibrant, with sawmills, schools, and even a major-league baseball field, but it declined as the forests were cut down and the mills closed. Today, Cross Fork is quite popular for trout fishing on Cross Fork and Kettle Creek, and the Susquehannock Trail System passes right through town.
