Custards is an unincorporated community in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, United States. Custards is located on Pennsylvania Route 285, west of Cochranton and is near Interstate 79 and U.S. Route 19.
According to the author Robert Waites, the name may have been due to Benjamin Custard, who in 1788 received a 300-acre (120 ha; 1,200,000 m2) land grant, which he'd called Custard's Delight.[2]
