==History==
The first signs of European settlement date to the year 1772, when James McClure established a log cabin in the area. Until the mid-19th century, it was just a small village, known as Bloom Township. Traditionally, Bloomsburg's founding in 1802 has been ascribed to settler Ludwig Eyer, son of Johann Martin Eyer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Town of Bloomsburg )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Ancestors of Dustin & Dylan Hileman )〕 For 75 years after the discovery of ore in the area, Bloomsburg developed a booming iron industry.
For more than a century, starting from its incorporation on March 4, 1870, Bloomsburg held the distinction of being the only incorporated town in Pennsylvania. While other municipalities are often commonly referred to as towns, they were all officially classified as either cities, boroughs, or townships. Bloomsburg still uses the slogan of "The only incorporated ''TOWN'' in Pennsylvania", and state government publications continue to describe Bloomsburg as "the only incorporated town" in Pennsylvania.〔''Pennsylvania Manual'', (Volume 117 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search - PA Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) )〕〔("Local Government Entities in Pennsylvania" ) and ("Municipal Statistics" ) in (''Legislator’s Municipal Deskbook for Pennsylvania'' )〕 However, in 1975, McCandless Township in Allegheny County adopted a home rule charter under the name "Town of McCandless".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bloomsburg )〕〔(Pennsylvania Code, Title 302, Chapter 23 )〕
The Bloomsburg Historic District and Rupert Covered Bridge No. 56 are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
On 28 October 2015, a North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) blimp broke free from Aberdeen Proving Ground and headed north, taking out the town's power supply as it went. 〔(Military Blimp on the Ground in Pennsylvania: NORAD )〕 〔(Army Blimp Breaks Loose, Drifts Over Pennsylvania )〕
