==History==
Berwick was founded by Evan Owen, a [[Welsh people|Welsh]] [[Quakers|Quaker]] and [[surveying|surveyor]]. He was the son of Hugh Owen from [[Trefeglwys]], [[Montgomeryshire]], [[Wales]]. Berwick was named after [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]], [[England]]. Situated on the north bank of the [[Susquehanna River]], the borough was first settled in 1769, founded in 1786, and incorporated in 1818.

Light and heavy manufacturing industries, such as [[American Car and Foundry Company]] and [[Wise Potato Chips]], have flourished in Berwick, which consolidated with the borough of West Berwick, where 5,512 people lived in 1910, in 1917. The population of Berwick in 1910 was 5,357; in 1920, after consolidation, the population was 12,181; and in 1950 the population peaked at 14,010. The population was 10,477 at the 2010 census.

Berwick is famous for its high school football team, the Bulldogs, who are six time state champions and three time national champions. Berwick is also the home of the 2008 PIAA AAA baseball state champions. It is the school's first ever baseball state championship.

Since 1947, the Berwick Christmas Boulevard, created by the [[Jaycees]], displays over a mile long Christmas show of lights and displays down Market Street. The Berwick Christmas Boulevard is seen by thousands of visitors every year, and it has been a regional favorite for over 60 years.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.berwickborough.org/index.php?pageid=14 |title = Contact Information}}</ref> Santa Claus is present every year to serve Berwick's famous Wise Potato Chips to everyone who drives past him.
