Conneautville is a borough in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, along Conneaut Creek. The population was 774 at the 2010 census.
Conneautville was founded in 1814 by Alexander Power, a surveyor and engineer. Conneautville was first called "Powerstown" or made reference to as "Power's Tract". Power wanted it called "Conneautville" after the Seneca name Conneaut or Conneautee, meaning "Snow Place" according to one interpretation.
