History

Sugar Notch was incorporated as a borough on April 3, 1867; it was named for the sugar maple trees surrounding the community. It was originally part of Hanover Township. The first burgess was Charles Parrish and the first council was composed of David Caird, Henry B. Plumb, Samuel Roberts, Adam Shiedel, and George Cyphers.

In 1869, the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad was constructed near the borough; it was used to transport coal. Sugar Notch was a popular coal mining community in the 1800s and 1900s. The current municipal building was built in 1921.

In 1946, following the end of World War II, the Roosevelt Memorial was dedicated within the borough; Eleanor Roosevelt attended the ceremony.
