Uhlerstown is one of the many Delaware River communities in the county. In 1949, painter Frederick Harer died here.
Uhlerstown actually uses the post office and ZIP code of nearby Erwinna; therefore, many Uhlerstown residents say that they are from Erwinna, as that is what shows up on their addresses.
