Bernville, Pennsylvania

Bernville is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 955 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Bernville borough, Pennsylvania )〕 Bernville is bordered by Penn Township to the north, east, and south and by Jefferson Township to the west.
==History==
Before European settlers arrived in the Tulpehocken Creek valley, the area was inhabited by the Lenape people. In 1723, thirty-three Palatine families from Schoharie, New York, moved to the confluences of the Tulpehocken and Northkill Creeks.〔 These settlers established the Zion or Reed's Lutheran church.〕 By 1735, a saw and grist mill was located three and a half miles up the Tulpehocken river from Bernville.
In 1737, Stephanus Umbenhauer immigrated from Bern, Switzerland, and purchased from Thomas Penn. In 1819, Stephanus' grandson, Johann Thomas Umbenhauer, set aside to be divided into 62 lots. On 24 August 1819, Peter Bennethum bought the first six lots. In January 1820, the town was named Bernville after Stephanus' birthplace. The first house was built by Philip Filbert in 1820. In 1828, the Union Canal was completed, connecting the Susquehanna and Schuylkill rivers. Union Canal guard lock #36 and Lock #36 with a lift of is located at the southwest corner of Bernville, near where Northkill Creek empties into Tulpehocken Creek. An historic marker on Route 183 states: "The canal, at this point, followed the north bank of the Tulpehocken. A dam, two locks, and a mule bridge made it possible for boats to cross Northkill Creek. Nearby were grist mills, a lime kiln, and a tannery."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ) 〕 Due to the proximity of the Bernville Locks and the town's location on the canal, Bernville was a primary and prospering canal port.
In 1851, the village of Bernville, discontented with Penn Township's road maintenance and community services, incorporated as a borough.〔 The borough included the original 62 lots, most of which measured . In 1884, the Union Canal closed.〔 With no canal or railroad access, Bernville withered. In 1950, Bernville Borough annexed property from Penn Township at both ends of Main Street.〔
Stanton H. Clay, who died in December 2004, was mayor of Bernville for 45 years, from 1951 to 1996. The current mayor is Gail Stoudt.
