This village (now a
borough, Bowmanstown), was named for John D. Bowman who opened a hotel at this place
in 1808. It was at this time that the
Lehigh & Susquehanna Turnpike was put through in this part of the
county. The Lehigh Canal was built
along the river in this place in the late 1820s, and in the late 1860s the
Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad was built through and a station opened. Deposits of pigment ore were discovered on
the nearby Stony Ridge, and at the time of this atlas there were two paint and
pigment factories located here.
