==History== Once famous for its iron furnaces (c. 1794β1927), the town was founded in 1855 by Henry P. Robeson, who had acquired existing iron manufacturing operations and founded the Robesonia Iron Company in 1845. The [[Robesonia Furnace Historic District]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1991.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref> Several of the largest employers include C&S Wholesale Grocers, a food distributor, Magnatech International, and Snap-On Tools. The town is also known for its [[Pennsylvania Dutch|Pennsylvania German]]-style pottery, also sometimes called redware.
