===Industrialization=== {{More|Industrial Revolution in the United States}} [[File:Jim Thorpe Lehigh Broadway 2898px.jpg|thumb|Corporate headquarters of [[Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company]] in Mauch Chunk, now [[Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania|Jim Thorpe]]; the company, which was founded in 1822 and dissolved in 1985, spearheaded the [[Industrial Revolution in the United States|American Industrial Revolution]]]] Lehigh Coal Mine Company (LCMC) operations had managed to open up the mouth area of the [[Nesquehoning Creek]] by 1800. This area became known as Lausanne, or Lausanne Landing, after the inn and tavern built there called Landing Tavern. An Amerindian trail crossed the stream near the confluence with Jean's Run<ref>Jean's Run is the first left bank tributary of Nesquehoning Creek, upstream from Nesquehoning Creek's mouth on the [[Lehigh River]]. It has three falls and steep ravine sides, so was not a valley congenial to wagon travel, nor likely friendly to climbing with pack mules without great care and persuasion. The toll house for the turnpike was located nearby opposite the mouth of Jean's Run, and [[Pennsylvania Route 93|PA Route 93]] crosses today from an elevated bridge, so the Turnpike climbed from Jean's Run across the slope to the same level as the Broad Mountain side of today's bridge.</ref> and the camp grounds of their boat builders, climbing northwestwards along a traverse to the next water gap west, eroded into the southern flank of [[Broad Mountain (Lehigh Valley)|Broad Mountain]] in the [[Lehigh Valley]]. It connected across a [[barrier ridge]] whose waters originated in the [[saddle (landform)|saddle]]-pass where [[Hazleton, Pennsylvania|Hazleton]] was built. The trail became the [[Lausanne–Nescopeck Turnpike|Lehigh and Susquehanna Turnpike]] in 1804. PA Route 93 follows this route with the exception of where modern road building capabilities allowed improved positioning. This road cut {{convert|90|-|100|mi}} off a trip from [[Philadelphia]] to the [[Wyoming Valley]] and the northern sections of the [[Coal Region]].
