Everson is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 768 at the 2020 census. Established in the mid-18th century and incorporated in 1903, it developed as a coal and coke town, attracting many Polish immigrants who founded much of the borough's businesses. The borough’s economy once centered on industry and a busy main street, but declined with the fall of coal and rail.
