History

Rohrsburg’s name comes from the Prussian Frederick Rohr, who gained the site in 1825 from Samuel Sherts. In 1826, Rohrsburg consisted solely of a wheelwright’s shop, but over the next few years some businesses developed in the area. Other early industries built in the Rohrsburg area include a sawmill built in 1820, a fulling and carding-mill built in 1832, and a pottery built in 1847. The Susquehanna, Bloomsburg, and Berwick Railroad had a station in Rohrsburg in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
