Salisbury was founded April 15, 1795 by Joseph Markley. The tract of land, "John's Fancy", was given to Joseph by his father John Markley. John, his wife Eva, and oldest son Jacob came from Wurtemberg, Germany in August 1749. The town had a few different names prior to becoming Salisbury. These names included Brushtown and Salsburrich. The Dutch settlers decided on the name Salsburrich because of the salt deposits in the area. When the first post office was established the name was officially changed to Salisbury. In 1862 the borough was incorporated under the name "Elk-Lick".

Joseph and Eva had the following known 7 children: Jacob Markley M 1748 in Germany; Margaret Markley F 1753 in Elk Lick Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA; Mathias Markley M 1757 in Glade, Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA; Joseph Markley M 1763 in Salisbury, Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA; Peter Markley M 1767 in Elk Lick, Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA; Susannah Markley F 1770 in Elk Lick Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA and Eve Catherine Markley F 1774 in Brothers Valley, Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA
