Jim Thorpe is a historic borough located in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, nestled in the Lehigh Gorge. Originally named Mauch Chunk, the town was renamed in 1954 in honor of Native American Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe.
The town features well-preserved Victorian architecture and played a significant role in America's Industrial Revolution as a center for coal transportation. Its rich cultural heritage is reflected in its 19th-century buildings, including the Old Jail Museum and the Mauch Chunk Opera House, which continues to host performances today. The town's transformation from an industrial hub to a cultural destination has earned it the nickname "The Switzerland of America" due to its scenic mountain setting and architectural charm.
The area's history encompasses both industrial progress and artistic development, making it an interesting destination for those interested in American history and culture.
