The society applied to have their 500 acre (2 km²) recreation center in western Pennsylvania designated as a separate municipality in 1977. The S.N.P.J. borough was created so that the society could, among other things, get their own liquor license.^[1] North Beaver Township, Pennsylvania, the municipality in which the center was originally located, restricted the sale of alcohol.
