History

The village was named for the tavern built in 1818 by Henry Shelly who was a descendant of a Mennonite family who settled in the area about 1720. The tavern was a meeting place for members of the Fries's Rebellion of 1799 and 1800 and was part of the Underground Railroad assisting the freeing of slaves before and during the Civil War. It was a stop on the stagecoach line between Philadelphia and Allentown and later a trolley stop. The Brick Tavern is still in operation today..[2][3][4]
