Beaver County's unique history is reflected in the five flags that once flew as claim to the area, as well as in the fact that for 70 years the land between the 100th and 103rd meridians and between 36 30' and the 37th parallels belonged to no territory, state, or nation--hence the name "No Man's Land."
