About the borough:
"Pottstown is a borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States 40
miles (64 km) northwest of Philadelphia and 18 miles (29 km) southeast of
Reading, on the Schuylkill River. Pottstown was laid out in 1752–53 and named
Pottsgrove in honor of its founder, John Potts. The old name was abandoned at
the time of the incorporation as a borough in 1815. In 1888, the limits of the
borough were considerably extended. Pottstown is the center of a productive
farming and dairying region. In the past, its iron and steel interests were very
extensive. There were large rolling mills, furnaces, nail works, textile mills,
bridge works, agricultural-implement works, boiler and machine shops, foundries,
and manufactories of bricks, silks, shirts, hosiery, etc. The population was
21,859 at the 2000 census." - from Wikipedia:
