Editing East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (section)

==History==
In 1737, present-day East Stroudsburg was settled by Daniel Brodhead, a judge from [[Marbletown, New York]], who acquired a 1,000-acre lot of land on and around where [[Lehigh Valley Health Network|Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono Hospital]] currently stands at 206 E. Brown Street in what then was [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County]] and now is [[Monroe County, Pennsylvania|Monroe County]] along the east bank of [[Brodhead Creek]], then known as the Analomink River. The property was known as Dansbury Manor. [[Moravian Church|Moravian]] missionaries, residing in [[Bethlehem, Pennsylvania|Bethlehem]] to the town's south, often traveled through Danbury Manor on the way to [[Dutchess County, New York]] and other northern locations.

On December 11, 1755, six months after Brodhead's death, Danbury Manor was attacked by approximately 200 [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]]. Brodhead's five sons and daughter each took up arms, and fired at the attackers. While each of the Brodhead children were able to save the lives, the Native American attackers destroyed Danbury Manor.

In 1856, the [[Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad]] was built through present-day East Stroudsburg, which greatly increased the town's population and economic vibrancy. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, East Stroudsburg became one of several eastern [[Pennsylvania]] centers for manufacturing and commerce.<ref>[https://www.monroehistorical.org/articles_files/110111_stbgestbg.html "Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg founded in the 1730s"], [[Monroe County, Pennsylvania|Monroe County]], retrieved March 6, 2024</ref>
