History
In the 1880s Waddle grew as a railway town on the main line between Bellefonte and State College. The Bellefonte Central Railroad added lines from Waddle to the mines near Scotia. This allowed ore to be shipped straight to Bellefonte, as oppose to via Tyrone. In 1910 the McNitt-Huyett Lumber Company built a large sawmill in Waddle, connected to the pine barrens near Scotia. Service between Waddle and State College ended in 1976.
