From the looks of it, this sign was erected in the Borough of Blooming Valley, Pennsylvania on or about its 100th birthday in 1945.
It survives today as a reminder of the town's founding in 1845 and the thinking behind it's name.
My third great grandfather Jeremiah Smith was the founder of the town according to the History of Crawford County book. I don't know if he picked the name though.

UPDATE: Page 10 of the book, Around Saegertown by Joshua F. Sherretts has some more details on the history of Blooming Valley, PA.
