Pottstown: Schuylkill River Steel Town
Pottstown is a borough in Montgomery County along the Schuylkill River, about 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The population is approximately 22,700. The community was laid out in 1752 by John Potts, an ironmaster who operated furnaces and forges in the area, and takes its name from him. It was incorporated as a borough in 1815. Pottstown sits at the boundary between Montgomery and Chester counties, with portions of the metropolitan area extending into Chester County.
The community's industrial history is tied to iron and steel production. The Pottstown Iron Works, later part of Bethlehem Steel, operated through much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. After Bethlehem Steel's Pottstown plant closed in the 1980s, the borough experienced significant economic decline. Revitalization efforts since the 2000s have focused on the downtown High Street corridor and the Schuylkill River Trail, which passes through the community.
The Hill School, a coeducational boarding school founded in 1851, operates its 200-acre campus in Pottstown. The Hill is one of the oldest and most prominent preparatory schools in the United States, with a student body of approximately 520. Montgomery County Community College maintains a West Campus in Pottstown, and Pottstown Memorial Medical Center serves the area.
