Upper Saucon Township and Coopersburg (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Upper Saucon Township was established in 1753. Often called "e;the Crossroads"e; because of its connections to the areas around it, the tracks of the North Pennsylvania Railroad awakened the small town of Center Valley in 1856. From there, the Liberty Bell trolley line was added, making transportation of goods and people even easier within the township. Milk trolleys ran daily, and mills lined the creeks running through the predominantly agricultural township. As the connections grew, so did the needs of one of Upper Saucon Township's towns: Coopersburg. With the needs of a burgeoning town, Coopersburg petitioned to become a distinct borough in 1879. Coopersburg brought attention to the area with its industries and annual cattle sale. It was dubbed "e;the town of possibilities"e; for all it had to offer.
