Historic Map - Perkasie, PA - 1894
Description
This panoramic print of Perkasie, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1894. Perkasie was established in the 1870's along the North Branch Perkiomen Creek and incorporated as a borough in 1876. The region was a busy pasture and farming area, with Perkasie as its trading center. In 1880 Perkasie���s first newspaper, The Central News, began. In the 1890's, tobacco began to be grown to great extent and several cigar manufactories were established in Perkasie. The popular Boltz, Clymer & Co. was producing an average of 150,000 cigars per month in that era.
The map from 1894 includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad line.
