History
Souderton occupies a land that was historically inhabited by the Lenni Lenape for thousands of years. The first Welsh settlers, John Mathias and Thomas Morgan, established their settlement in the vicinity around 1710, near the intersection of School Lane and Chestnut Street where Souderton stands today. The town was originally named Welshtown, because of its Welsh influence.
The first person to own land in what is now Souderton was a man by the name of George Stuart. He built a log cabin in or around what is now known as West Street Park. Stuart owned many acres and began selling them off in tracts. In 1734, he sold 1,000 acres to George Cressman, which eventually became the Borough of Souderton. This parcel of land was approximately bounded by what are now Reliance Road, County Line Road, Cherry Lane, and Cowpath Road.
In 1755, 225 acres were sold to German immigrant Johannes 'John' Benner.
In 1835, Henry O. Souder and his spouse Hannah established their initial homestead situated at the intersection of present-day Main and Chestnut Streets. Souder, known for his entrepreneurial spirit, also possessed a lumber mill located on Main Street. The name Souderton is prefigured in a map of 1847 as Souder's Lumberyard, as Henry had own a lumber mill located on main street.
