The area that is now Stroudsburg was settled by British Colonel Jacob Stroud
in 1769 and housed one of numerous forts built in Pennsylvania
to protect settlers from American Indian raids. Remnants of the town's history
dot the streets, and the 1795 Stroud
Mansion—built by the colonel for his son—now houses a museum and
research library for visitors interested in learning about the area's past.
