History
3
Around 1910, Stoyer's Dam, then known as Bittle's Dam, stood in a sparsely developed area with few homes, farms within the town limits, and no development north of Columbia Street in the area known as The Orchard. In 1927, a swimming pool called the Crystal Pool or Sugar Bowl existed at the western end of the present-day park. In 1757, seven years after Schuylkill Haven's first settler, John Fincher, arrived, a girl was killed by Indians on Long Run at the extreme western edge of town near here.
