The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Beaver Meadows began as a recognizable and describable landmark, a meadow where beaver dams dotted the landscape, along a well-known Amerindian Trail, known as the "Warriors' Path", and later as well known as the trail used by Moravian Missionaries traveling between Berwick and Bethlehem, then became known as a toll gate/rest stop along the Lehigh and Susquehanna Turnpike, a bridle trail and wagon road chartered in 1804 from Jean's Run near the mouth of Nesquehoning Creek on the Lehigh River in the hamlet and township of Lausanne about nine miles south on the other side of Broad Mountain.
