🔥 Pottstown History: Thomas Rutter’s Bloomery Forge on the Manatawny
Pennsylvania’s iron industry got its start just a few miles above Pottstown, where, around 1716, Thomas Rutter, a blacksmith from near Germantown, built a bloomery forge on Manatawny Creek in what is now Douglass Township, Berks County.
It was Pennsylvania’s first ironworks, and in a 1717 letter, Jonathan Dickinson wrote that the smiths judged Rutter’s iron as good as the best Swedish iron.
After Rutter died in 1730, the Potts family bought in and the site became Pine Forge, which ran into the 1840s.
The state historical marker calls Rutter an opponent of slavery, and his mansion, later a stop on the Underground Railroad, now sits on the Pine Forge Academy campus.
