•The iron industry developed in Reading in the 1750s, and by the time of the American Revolution, local factories produced more iron products than manufacturers in all of England. Reading’s factories were a major supplier of weaponry and ammunition to the Continental Army.
•Reading is one of the few American cities to have once had a socialist government. Socialist J. Henry Stump was Reading’s mayor from 1927 to 1931, 1935 to 1939, and 1943 to 1947. During Stump’s first term, every elected city official was a socialist.
•Its nickname is the Pretzel City because in the early 20th century, dozens of pretzel bakeries and packagers made their home in Reading.
•The Reading Railroad opened here in 1838 and was one of the major railways of the Industrial Revolution, shipping coal from the mining regions of western Pennsylvania throughout the northeastern United States. The railroad has been defunct since the mid-1970s, but it lives on as one of the properties on the Monopoly board game.
