Warren, city, seat (1800) of Warren county, northwestern Pennsylvania, U.S., on the Allegheny River near the mouth of the Conewango Creek, 21 miles (34 km) south of Jamestown, New York. Laid out in 1795, it was named for General Joseph Warren, who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill. A lumber boom in the mid-19th century was followed by an oil boom. Its economy now includes the manufacture of furniture, forestry equipment, electric and wire products, steel fabrications, and refined oil. Warren is the headquarters for Allegheny National Forest (hunting, fishing, and winter sports), and tourism is an added source of income. Kinzua Dam and Chapman State Park are nearby. Inc. 1832; city, 1989. Pop. (2000) 10,259; (2010) 9,710.
