Whitehall

On March 20, 1753, Whitehall Township was formed from part of Northampton County, which had been deeded to the sons of William Penn.
  The first people to populate this area were the Minsi Delaware Indians, also called the Lenni Lenape Indians.  It was used as their hunting, fishing, and camping grounds.
  In the early 1700’s, German settlers began clearing the land, raising crops, and establishing villages.  The early villages usually began with the construction of a gristmill, sawmill, or a building, which served as a hotel, store, and post office.
  Although primarily agricultural in nature, Whitehall was also home to several mining interests. Slate, iron ore, limestone, and cement industries flourished during the 1800’s.
  Throughout its history, Whitehall has continued to retain its unique blend of residential and rural character.  The Lorenz Guth house near Wehr’s Dam still stands today. His home is in excellent condition and a fine example of colonial architecture.  Other historical sites include the Troxell-Steckel House, Helfrich Springs Grist Mill and Peter Grim Homestead.
