Baden is a borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, along the Ohio River. The population was 4,135 at the 2010 census. It is the former site of Logstown, a significant Native American settlement.
The site of Baden was the location of Logstown, a Native American village. Settlers conversed and negotiated with Native Americans there; George Washington visited the area to speak with the Natives himself under Queen Alliquippa. The oldest recorded house in Baden was built in the early 1800s, and it became a stopping place for farmers on their way to Pittsburgh to sell their livestock. Baden was founded as a village in 1838 and was named after the resort town of Baden-Baden in Germany's Black Forest.
Early on, Baden was home to boat building yards, quarries, a lath mill and a gristmill. After Baden was established as a borough in 1858, it grew with the appearance of steel mills and oil wells in the area as well as the growth of the railroads, including the nearby Conway Yard, now operated by Norfolk Southern.
Baden is located at 40°38′23″N 80°13′36″W / 40.63972°N 80.22667°W (40.639847, -80.226727). It is approximately 20 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
