Discover Pottstown
Pottstown stands on land originally deeded to William Penn, and Germans, Swedes and English were among its first European settlers. After the area's first iron forge was built in 1714, its fortunes became tied to iron, and blast furnaces for iron and later steel opened nearby. The industry drew the Potts family of ironmasters, who built a forge and a large home just west of Manatawny Creek, and in 1761 John Potts laid out a town on part of his 995 acres. The town, known as Pottsgrove, grew and was incorporated in 1815 as Pottstown, the second borough in Pennsylvania after Norristown.
More about Pottstown
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad main line reached Pottstown in 1838, and its extension to Mount Carbon in 1842 eased the movement of raw materials and finished goods; within a few years the population grew from 600 to 1,850. Pottstown's metal production grew as well, and steel from the borough went into the Panama Canal and the Golden Gate Bridge. The borough adopted a city manager form of government in 1944, and in 1964 it cut its 20-member council, one of the largest in the state, to seven. The High Street and Old Pottstown historic districts and Pottsgrove Mansion are on the National Register of Historic Places. Sources Wikipedia: Pottstown, Pennsylvania
