History
Jeremiah Trexler obtained land adjoining that of his father in present-day Upper Macungie Township, where he operated a tavern as early as in 1732. Two years later, in 1734, a road was developed from his Upper Macungie Township tavern south through North Wales to Philadelphia.
As was the custom of the time, a village grew around the tavern, and the village came to be known as Trexlertown in honor of Trexler's role in its founding.
