Northkill Amish Settlement
The Northkill Amish Settlement was established in 1740 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. As the first identifiable Amish community in the new world,〔Nolt, p. 74.〕 it was the foundation of Amish settlement in the Americas.
==Settlement==
The first Amish began migrating to the United States in the 18th century, largely to avoid religious persecution and compulsory military service. The Northkill Creek watershed, in eastern Province of Pennsylvania, was opened for settlement in 1736 and that year Melchior Detweiler and Hans Seiber settled near Northkill.〔 Shortly thereafter many Amish began to move to Northkill with large groups settling in 1742 and 1749.
In 1742, the group was large enough to petition the Pennsylvania General Assembly for naturalization rights, allowing them to purchase land.〔Smith, p. 371.〕 The group was strengthened in 1749 when bishop Jacob Hertzler〔Hertzler was the first recorded Amish bishop (or elder) in North America. Nolt, p. 79-80.〕 settled in Northkill and the settlement grew to nearly 200 families at its height.〔Nolt, p. 75.〕
