It is part of Happy [Valley (Pennsylvania)|Happy Valley] and the larger Nittany Valley.

The town was named after Conrad Struble, who owned a farm there which proved to lie over rich deposits of iron ore. Mining began in 1880. The Bellefonte and [Buffalo Run Railroad] graded a right-of-way from Bellefonte to the ore pits in 1883, but track was not laid until 1887, by its successor the Buffalo [Run, Bellefonte and Bald Eagle Railroad]. Even after the end of ore mining, Struble remained an important junction point on the railroad, now the Bellefonte Central.
