Weatherly, PA: Mrs C. M. Schwab School 1901

            For the history of this school, see the third photo of the school.

Formerly the town was called Black Creek, a name derived from the color the water appeared in that stream.Originally, the dark color of the waters was due to the dense forest of hemlocks which grew in the swamps where the stream had its source. Later it was contaminated with sulphur water fom the coal mines lying north of Spring Mountain.

In 1848, the town's name was changed to Weatherly in honor of David Weatherly, a director of the Beaver Meadow Railroad and an entrepreneur watch and clock maker. However, shortly thereafter he left the town and never did give a clock for this honor as he promised.

The town was incorporated as the Borough of Weatherly in 1863
