Fort Deshler was a substantial stone structure built in 1760 by Adam Deshler, a native of Switzerland, near the north bank of Coplay Creek. It served as a military post and as a refuge for settlers against attack. The building remained in the Deshler family for several generations, was owned by the Coplay Cement Company after 1899, and stood until about 1940.
