A BRIEF HISTORY OF 18051


Fogelsville was named after Judge John Fogel, who built a hotel there in 1798, it being the 1st building in that place. Besides the hotel he carried on a trade of dyeing and also kept a small store. St. Johns Lutheran Church was built 1835. By 1845 Fogelsville was a post village, at the junction of Allentown and Millerstown roads. There were 16 homes, a store, a tavern, a school house and the German Reformed and Lutheran church. In 1884 the village consisted of 2 taverns, 2 churches, 3 schools, a carriage factory, grain/coal/lumber depot, brick yard, and limestone quarry. There had been 2 savings banks that closed in the 1873 panic. The population was four hundred thirty four at the end of the century. As of the 2000 census, the population was 3,205.



The cache is located at:
N 40° 35.ABC
W 075° 39.XYZ

So how do you figure out what ABC and XYZ are? Easy! In order to find ABC you have to find another cache... GCYEQM - Down On The Corner. Written on the lid of that cache is a three digit number, plug that into the coordinates and you're halfway home. The more difficult part is finding out what XYZ is! Good luck.
