George Klees and Daniel Heil
were the first white settlers in the Quakake Valley, arriving around
1790. Crossing the Blue Mountain from Berks County, they came north
following a road that had been built to a point a few miles south of present
day Tamaqua. From there, they forged their own road to the Quakake Valley,
where they built the valley's first sawmill. The valley was heavily
forested, and that became the first industry of the settlers. The sawmills
that dotted the region were soon joined by gristmills, once the cleared land
was set to plow. Later settlers followed the road cut by Klees and Heil,
while other settlers came from the valley of the Lehigh River, following the
course of the Indian's Warrior's Path, which later was used for the Lehigh and
Susquehanna Turnpike. Other settlers came down from Luzerne Co. in the
north. The forests soon were relegated to the mountaintops and deep ravines,
while the broad valley of the Quakake Creek became rich farmland. Though some
industry came into the valley, the valley was, and remains, primarily farmland.
