Historic Map - Hamburg, PA - 1889
Description
This aero-view print of Hamburg, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & F. P. Henry in 1889. Hamburg was established in the late 1700's along the Schuylkill River. A popular turnpike from Reading to Pottsville crossed through town in the early 1800s. A canal was dug along the east bank of the river in the early 1800's and Hamburg prospered as a boat building community during the canal���s era. Hamburg was incorporated in 1837. Railroads were added in the 1840's.
Hamburg���s early industries included leather tanning, hat making, manufacture of chains, nails and all kinds of tools, whiskey distilling and beer brewing. Telephones were first offered in Hamburg in 1881. In 1889, a Board of Trade was formed and the Windsor Water Company was organized. The water company constructed a million gallon reservoir at the base of Blue Mountain to serve Hamburg.
