History

Native American Era and Early Settlement

The area now known as Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, was originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape (also known as the Delaware), specifically the Minsi band of the Wolf tribe, who were part of the broader Algonquian-speaking peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands. These indigenous groups utilized the region's natural features, including a central spring that served as a vital water source for sustenance and settlement, referring to it as the "sunken spring" due to its tendency to appear and disappear periodically into underground channels. The Lenni Lenape had occupied the broader Berks County region, including the Tulpehocken area encompassing Sinking Spring, since at least the early 18th century, with evidence of their presence dating back to around 1728. No major conflicts are recorded in this specific locale during initial European contact, though broader displacement pressures from colonial expansion affected the Lenni Lenape throughout eastern Pennsylvania. European settlement began in the late 1720s, as German immigrants, part of the larger wave of Palatine Germans arriving in , moved westward along the Tulpehocken Path into what was then the western edge of Cumru Township in Berks County. These settlers, seeking fertile land away from established coastal areas, were drawn to the crossroads near the unusual spring, which they observed bubbling up from the ground before vanishing into nearby sinkholes, leading to its renaming as the "sinking spring" by the 1730s. The first recorded European family in the area was the Krick family, who acquired significant land holdings shortly after initial arrivals. Early land use centered on agriculture, with German settlers establishing farms that focused on mixed farming practices typical of Pennsylvania German communities, including grain cultivation and livestock rearing along routes that would later become Penn Avenue. Primitive roads, extensions of the Tulpehocken Path, connected these farms to the nearby market town of Reading for trade in produce and goods, facilitating economic integration into the colonial network. By the 1750s, increasing European settlement and land acquisitions, including through mechanisms like the 1737 Walking Purchase, had largely displaced the Lenni Lenape from the region, pushing remaining groups westward. These agricultural patterns laid the foundation for continued farming development in the area into the 19th century.
