History
The borough is named for Moses Tunda Tatamy, a Native American leader. Tatamy was awarded the land that would become the borough by the Penn family for his work as an interpreter, and in 1745 was the first American Indian to be baptized by David Brainerd. In 1771 the territory would be purchased by one Michael Messinger Sr. who plotted a village. In 1892 the village had become large enough to warrant incorporation as a borough, and was incorporated on June 12, 1893, by Judge H.J. Reeder.
