About Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania
Reading is a city of 95,112 people and the seat of Berks County, set between the Schuylkill River on the west and Mount Penn on the east. In 1743 Richard and Thomas Penn, two sons of William Penn, worked with Conrad Weiser to lay out the town. It was founded in 1748 and named for Reading in Berkshire, England. When Berks County was created in 1752, Reading became its county seat.
Most early settlers came from southern and western Germany and bought their land from the Penns, and Pennsylvania Dutch was still spoken here into the 1950s. The Schuylkill Canal opened a water route to Philadelphia in 1825, and the Union Canal ran west toward Middletown by 1828, but railroads had replaced both by the 1880s. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, incorporated in 1833, hauled anthracite coal to East Coast markets for more than a century. It went bankrupt in 1971 and sold its rail lines to Conrail on April 1, 1976.
“With men enlisted from Berks County, Nagel's Company was a part of the first battalion in the colonies authorized by Congress, in June 1775. After gathering at Reading the following month, this company and other companies of the battalion marched approximately 350 miles in order to join the American siege of Boston.”
- Iron for the RevolutionBy the time of the Revolution, the area's ironworks were turning out more iron than all of England. Ironmasters such as Samuel Van Leer made cannons, rifles and ammunition for George Washington's troops. Reading also served as a supply depot, and Hessian soldiers captured at the Battle of Trenton were held prisoner here.
- Almost the capital in 1793Yellow fever struck Philadelphia in 1793, while it was still the nation's capital. President George Washington traveled to Reading and thought about making it the emergency capital. In the end he chose Germantown, closer to Philadelphia.
- The Pretzel CityReading got its nickname from the many pretzel bakeries in the city and its suburbs.
- Updike, Stevens and HaringThe novelist and poet John Updike, the poet Wallace Stevens, the artist Keith Haring, the graphic artist Jim Steranko and the guitarist Richie Kotzen were all born in Reading. John Philip Sousa, the March King, died at the Hotel Abraham Lincoln in 1932. Jackie Gleason started his career in 1935 at Tiny's Chateau Nightclub, inside the Black Bear Inn.
- An anchor from the MaineCity Park, off Perkiomen Avenue, holds an anchor from the Battleship Maine. The Navy shipped it to Reading from its Washington yard in 1914. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was assistant secretary of the navy at the time, led the dedication ceremony.
