Summit Hill : on Sharpe's Mountain, between Mauch Chunk and Lansford. Founded in 1892 by Philip Ginther. Coal was discovered in this town in the 1880's and helped launch the area's coal mining industry. Summit Hill was once in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" because it had one block that had a church on each of the four corners, facing the four directions of the world. One of the churches was converted into a bar - St. Gabriel's Italian Club.Summit Hill : on Sharpe's Mountain, between Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe) and Lansford. Founded in 1892 by Philip Ginther.
