History
Once famous for its iron furnaces (c. 1794–1927), the town was founded in 1855 by Henry P. Robeson, who had acquired existing iron manufacturing operations and founded the Robesonia Iron Company in 1845. The Robesonia Furnace Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Several of the largest employers include C&S Wholesale Grocers, a food distributor, Magnatech International, and Snap-On Tools. The town is also known for its Pennsylvania German-style pottery, also sometimes called redware.
