Casper Glattfelder and his family migrated from Glattfelden, Switzerland in 1743 and settled across this creek in Cordorus Township about 1747. Through the generosity of Arthur J. Glatfelter and in cooperation with the Board of Directors of the Casper Glattfelder Association of America, this tract of land was made available to the York County Department of Parks and Recreation for the development of the Heritage Rail Trail parking for the use and enjoyment of the public.
