## History

[edit]

Armbrust has a post office with ZIP code 15616, which opened on June 25, 1856.[2][3]

Initially named as Weaver's Old Stand, the town was renamed, during the late 1880s, after a postmaster with the last name of Armbrust.[citation needed] Central (aka Feightner) Cemetery, located two miles north, contains twenty-nine gravestones with the surname Armbrust. The oldest (based on date of death) is that of Margaret G. Armbrust, who died in 1895.[4]

Census records for the year 1900 show numerous people with the surname Armbrust living nearby in Hempfield Township.[5]
