On June 1,1889, Americans woke to the news that Johnstown, Pennsylvania had been devastated by the worst flood in the Nation's history. Over 2,200 were dead, with many more homeless.

Report Abuse. The Johnstown flood happened on May 31, 1889. Johnstown is in PA, a little east of Pittsburgh. Johnstown sits in a valley, which is also a flood plain, between two mountains, both of which have rivers (the Conemaugh and Stoney Creek). There had been a heavy rainstorm which caused the South Fork dam to break. The dam had been poor built and just as poorly maintained.
