The Historic Town of Jim Thorpe, PA
Jim Thorpe (known as East and West Mauch Chunk until 1954) is a borough and the county seat of Carbon County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is part of Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is historically known as the burial site of Native American sports legend Jim Thorpe. (Credit: Jim Thorpe Wikipedia Page)
Jim Thorpe is located in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania approximately 29 miles (47 km) northwest of Allentown, 83 miles (134 km) northwest of Philadelphia, and 117 miles (188 km) west of New York City.
In 1818, the borough was founded as Mauch Chunk, derived from Mawsch Unk, meaning Bear Place in Unami, the language of the native Lenape, and referring to Bear Mountain, an extension of Mauch Chunk Ridge that resembled a sleeping bear.
In 1954, the boroughs of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk merged under the new name Jim Thorpe, honoring the two-time track and field Olympic gold medalist, baseball player, basketball player, and footballer. The accomplished athlete’s surviving wife had his remains sent to the borough, where his monument still stands today.
Founding
Mauch Chunk was a company town founded by Josiah White and his partners, founders of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company. Both the company and the town played major roles in shipping coal to Philadelphia, Trenton, New York City, and other areas of New Jersey and Delaware. To do this, White and his partners developed both one of the nation’s first railroads and the Lehigh Canal. Once their coal made it to the ocean, they were able to supply all of the East Coast.
Today, the restored section of the Lehigh Canal is known as Hugh Moore Park and is part of the National Park Service Heritage Corridor.
Coal Mining, Canals, and Railroads
The Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company built the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad (L&S) from Pittston to Ashley, including the Ashley Planes inclined railway, and linked that by rail from Mountain Top to White Haven at the head of the canal’s upper works, referred to as the Grand Lehigh Canal (located in what is now the Lehigh Gorge State Park). Twenty dams, twenty-nine locks, and half a mile of canal helped cut the distance from Philadelphia to Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley coal deposits by over 100 miles. This land was otherwise difficult to travel through, and these navigations put Mauch Chunk at the center of the easiest transportation path.
When floods wiped out many of the upper Lehigh Canal works in 1861, the L&S was extended through the gap to supplant the canal. The switchback-twisted backtrack through Avoca enabled two-way steam locomotive traction despite the steep inclines. The LC&N’s headquarters were built across the street from the L&S Railroad’s classy brick passenger station, which was soon boarding passengers onto trains from New York and Philadelphia to Buffalo. The Central Railroad of New Jersey eventually took over the L&S and the station. The Lehigh Valley Railroad arrived on the river’s east bank at East Mauch Chunk in 1855.
Mauch Chunk is on a west side flat of the Lehigh River where Mahoning Creek enters. More of the modern houses of Jim Thorpe can be found on the east side, in East Mauch Chunk, which was settled later to support the Beaver Creek Railroad, the mines it spawned, and the logging industry. It began to grow further when the Lehigh Valley Railroad reached the valley of the river’s east bank in 1885 to compete with LC&N.
Today, visitors can check out the No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum and the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. The picturesque D&L trail, which follows the historic route of the Lehigh Canal and Lehigh Valley Railroad, is also open for hiking and biking.
Molly Maguires
Mauch Chunk was the location of one of the trials of the Molly Maguires in 1876, which resulted in the hanging of four men found guilty of murder. The hanging took place in the Carbon County Prison in Mauch Chunk. According to legend, Alex Campbell, one of these four members of the Irish labor organization, left a handprint on the wall of the prison, stating that he was innocent and that the mark would remain as proof. A handprint does still exist there today and can be seen by the public in what is now The Old Jail Museum.
Renaming to Jim Thorpe
Following the 1953 death of athlete and Olympic medal winner Jim Thorpe, Thorpe’s widow and third wife, Patricia, was impatient when, after five months, the planned memorial in Shawnee, Oklahoma had yet to raise the $100,000 to honor him. The town’s citizens had paid for her, a Thorpe son and Jim’s body to be shipped from California, paid and arranged for the funeral service at St. Benedict’s Catholic church, and paid for the mausoleum costs at Fairview Cemetery. Then Gov. Johnston Murray vetoed a bill which would contribute funds to the erection of the memorial at Athletic Park. On Sept. 1st Mrs. Thorpe, saying she feared Jim would be buried in a potter’s field, shipped the body to Tulsa where she said the Chamber of Commerce was going to build a proper memorial, which was not true. When she heard that the boroughs of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk were desperately seeking to attract business, she made a deal with civic officials. According to Jim Thorpe’s son, Jack, Patricia was motivated by money in seeking the deal.
The two cross-river boroughs merged in 1954 and renamed the new municipality Jim Thorpe in his honor, despite Thorpe never setting foot in the Borough while alive. The municipality then obtained the athlete’s remains from his wife and erected a monument to the Oklahoma native, who began his sports career 100 miles (161 kilometers) southwest, as a student at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The monument site contains his tomb, two statues of him in athletic poses, and historical markers describing his life story. The grave rests on mounds of soil from Thorpe’s native Oklahoma and from the Stockholm Olympic Stadium in which he won his multiple Olympic medals in the Pentathlon and Decathlon .
On June 24, 2010, one of Jim Thorpe’s sons, Jack Thorpe, sued the town for his father’s remains, citing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, which is designed to return Native American artifacts to their tribal homelands. On February 11, 2011, Judge Richard Caputo ruled that Jack Thorpe could not gain any monetary award, nor any amount for attorney’s fees in the lawsuit and that for the lawsuit to continue other members of the Thorpe family and the Sac and Fox Nation would have to join him as plaintiffs. Before Jack Thorpe could respond to the ruling he died at the age of 73 on February 22, 2011. Because of his death his representatives were given more time to respond to the ruling. On May 2, 2011, William and Richard Thorpe, Jim Thorpe’s remaining sons and the Sac & Fox Nation of Oklahoma joined the lawsuit, allowing it to continue. On April 19, 2013, Caputo ruled in favor of William and Richard Thorpe, ruling that the borough amounts to a museum under the law. This ruling was reversed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on October 23, 2014. The US Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal on October 5, 2015, assuring that Jim Thorpe’s remains will stay in Carbon County.
The decision to rename the borough saw a mixed reaction by the borough’s residents, many of whom still refer to the borough as Mauch Chunk. Detractors to the new name claim that the renaming was a “Tourist Lure” and protested that Jim Thorpe had never even set eyes on the borough while he was alive. There were several movements to rename the borough back to Mauch Chunk, first in 1964 after the expected boost in tourism never came and another in 1992 as Jim Thorpe’s popularity waned and locals referred to renaming the borough after a dead Native American to boost tourism revenues as “crass commercialism” while Thorpe’s family called for his remains to be returned to Oklahoma.

Architecture
Anyone with an interest in architecture will certainly enjoy exploring Jim Thorpe. The Mauch Chunk of the 1880s is visible through many of its 19th century designs. The vast range of architectural styles found here includes Federalist, Greek Revival, Second Empire, Romanesque Revival, Queen Anne, and Richardsonian Romanesque. Many of these buildings were protected under siding that has since been removed, making them visible in all their beauty.
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church is a prominent example of Gothic Revival, constructed 1867-1869. Guided tours are offered of St. Mark’s, now the Episcopal Parish of St. Mark and St. John, which features Tiffany glass windows and hand-carved limestone reredos.

Gravity Railroad Engineering Marvel
In 1827, the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company constructed an 8.7-mile downhill track, known as a gravity railroad, to deliver coal to the Lehigh Canal in Mauch Chunk. This helped to increase commerce in the area and to fuel the Industrial Revolution in the United States. The “Gravity Railroad” is often cited as the first roller coaster in the United States, since by the 1850s, it was providing rides to thrill seekers. The Switchback Gravity Railroad Foundation was formed to study the feasibility of preserving the remains of the Gravity Railroad on top of Mount Pisgah.
The former Central Railroad of New Jersey railroad line through the Lehigh gorge and Jim Thorpe is now operated as a summer tourist railroad by Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad. The former New York City to Buffalo Lehigh Valley Railroad across the river is active and busy hauling freight and operated by Norfolk Southern.
