This week in Weatherly History:
'Weatherly was incorporated on the 8th day of October 1863, having been cut from Lausanne Township. Beginning at the northeast corner of Packer Township, thence by the division line between Banks and Lausanne Townships, north 2 1/4 degrees, east 55 perches to the Hazleton Railroad (Hazle Creek Jct., all abandoned), thence by said railroad line 730 perches to Brushy Hollow Creek, thence by said creek southward 380 perches to Quakake Creek, thence westward 750 perches along Quakake Creek to the division line between Packer and Lausanne Townships, thence by said division line northward 470 perches to northeast corner of Packer Township and place of beginning. Population was 500 at the time of incorporation.' ~Jack Koehler
🎉🎉This week we celebrate our 163rd anniversary as an official community, now the name Weatherly had been used since the late 1840s/early 1850s, but prior to that we had been known as Black Creek which was founded in 1825. 🎉🎉
If you enjoyed reading this and want to learn more about our community or what was here before, stop by today and tomorrow (Saturday 10/3 and Sunday 10/4) from 1-4pm. We hope you can join us.
Some of these pictures are scans done by our friends at the Carbon County GIS office.
