Douglassville, PA

The History of Douglassville, PA

Swedish Lutheran Minister Andreas Rudman secured an order from William Penn in 1701 setting aside 10,000 acres up the Schuylkill, near Manatawny Creek, for members of his congregation. The boundaries of Amity Township are almost identical to the boundaries of the original area known as Swedes’ tract. Morlatton Village, an early settlement which became part of what is now Douglassville, was Berks County’s first settlement site along the Schuylkill River. The settlement later became the location of Old St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, or Old Swedes, founded in 1720 as the oldest church in Berks County.
