Reading is an area located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. The Delaware Indians were also known as the Lenni Lenape were the original inhabitants of this region before European contact. When the Europeans came to this area in the 1680s, this region was incorporated as part of the Colony of Pennsylvania by King Charles II of England to one William Penn. In 1743, Thomas and Richard Penn the sons of William Penn mapped this area naming it Reading after the city in Berkshire England. Six years later in 1748, this area was established, and more emigrants from western and southern Germany came and bought land here for agriculture and settlement. During the French-Indian War, this region was the military base with multiple forts along Blue Mountain. By the end of American Revolution, this area already had a booming iron industry surpassing England’s output. This output would later help the American Revolution troops with rifles, cannons, and ammunition that they need during the war.
