About Hamburg, PA
Hamburg sits along the Schuylkill River at the foot of Blue Mountain, with quick access to I-78 and PA-61—handy for commuters and weekend adventurers alike. The town blends a compact, walkable Main Street with big-draw destinations like Cabela’s and the nearby Appalachian Trail, making it a small borough with an outsized outdoorsy spirit.
A Short History
Laid out in the 1700s and incorporated as a borough in 1837, Hamburg grew as turnpike, canal, and rail connections arrived. The Centre Turnpike opened in 1812; the Schuylkill Canal followed, then railroad lines that made the town a busy stop. Today, landmarks like the Hamburg Public Library and the downtown historic district spotlight that heritage.
Local Government
Hamburg uses the Berks County’s Pennsylvania borough form of government with a seven-member council and a mayor. Council sets policy and budgets; the mayor oversees the police department and serves in emergencies. Council and the mayor are elected at large for four-year terms.
Culture & Community
Hamburg is home to the Taste of Hamburg-er Festival, a Labor Day weekend tradition that draws crowds for music, vendors, and (of course) burgers. The Hamburg Strand Theater screens films and hosts events in a lovingly preserved 1920 building, and the Hamburg Area Arts Alliance showcases local makers at the Art & Craft Gallery. Outdoors, residents flock to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and AT trailheads just up the ridge.
