The settlement is located within the Allegheny National Forest along Pennsylvania Route 666, next to Tionesta Creek.
The early settlement contained three lumber mills and was described as "a small but active little town".[2]
Porkey was a stop on the Sheffield and Tionesta Railway, a now-abandoned 40-mile-long (64 km) railway that began operating in 1900.[3][4]
A wagon bridge was built across Tionesta Creek at Porkey in 1918.[2]
