A borough and the county-seat of Carbon County. Pa.. 46 miles west by north of Easton, on the Lehigh Eiver, the Lehigh Canal, and the Lehigh Valley and Central of New Jersey railroads (Map: Pennsylvania, F 3). This town marks the pas- sage of the river through precipitous mmintains, and forms the eastern extremity of a highly pro- ductive anthracite region. Its elevated situation on the side of the mountain, from the Indian name of which it Is named, and its picturesque surroundings, with a healthful climate, cause it to be much frequented as a summer resort. ine miles west by south of the village are the Summit Hill coal mines, which are celebrated as among the richest in the State. Another feature of interest here is a burning mine. The coal was fonncrly carried by means of a gravity railroad, called the 'Switchback,' to llauch Chunk, the cars returning by a similar road to the mines. This road is now used for tourists and exciirsions only, and the coal is transported through a tunnel. Mount Pisgah and Mount .TefTerson, both ascended by the road mentioned, Prospect Rock, and Flag- staff Peak, are points from which can be gained a magnificent view of the Leliigh Valley. Glen Onoko is another attractive place of resort, two miles distant. The borough has a public library, the Dimmick Memorial Liiirarv. and a Y. M. C. A. building. Its business interests lie in a very extensive coal trade, and there are also foundries and machine shops. The government is admin- istered by a mayor, elected every three years, and a imicameral council. Mauch Chunk waa founded in 1818 by the Lehigh Coal and Naviga- tion Company, and rapidly became a coal-mining centre. In 1850 it was incorporated as a bor- ough.
