Pottstown History:
Gen. Lewis Nicola and the Reading Stage

After the Revolution, Gen. Lewis Nicola moved to Potts Grove in 1785 and opened the “Reading Stage” tavern on High Street just west of Hanover. In April 1786 he launched the first regular Philadelphia-to-Reading stage, a twice-weekly “Light Waggon” that breakfasted in Norristown, changed horses at Perkiomen, and dined passengers at his Pottstown stop before lying overnight in Reading. (He is also remembered for a 1782 Newburgh letter to Washington that Washington firmly rejected.) Nicola left the line by late 1787, but successors kept staging through town until the railroad took over. For decades that High Street tavern stop helped knit Pottstown into the region’s commerce.
