History1600s-1700sThe Province of Pennsylvania was created in 1681 when King Charles II granted a tract of land in the New World to William Penn. After the death of William Penn, his sons, John, Thomas and Richard, became the owners of Pennsylvania. The Delaware Indians deeded that part of Lehigh County lying between the Lehigh (South) Mountain and the Blue Mountains to Penn's sons in 1736. A wave of immigrants from Germany's Palatinate settled in Whitehall Township, the first being Jacob Kohler, who settled in the vicinity of Egypt about 1728. The settlers staked their claim on the lands by applying to the Penn's for a land warrant. They cleared the land for farming and established churches around which villages grew. When the first European settlers came to the Whitehall area, the Lenape Indians were living on the banks of the Hokendauqua River. The Europeans and the Lenape Indians gathered together and designed a deal based on how far the Europeans were able to walk in 2 days, that's how much land they would acquire. So to gain more land, the Europeans paid a professional runner. The runner was able to get as far as what is now Coaldale, Pennsylvania, in Schuylkill County. A walk east got them as far as Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.
