Wind Gap was founded as a community in 1893 with original settlers being sheepherders. They were incorporated in 1893 with the first Council meeting being held in August. The tollhouse located on Route 115 (N. Broadway) was part of the stage route and now serves as a family dwelling. Railroads reached Wind Gap in 1878, with trolley cars appearing in the early 1900’s. Textiles and slate industries helped to form the backbone of Wind Gap’s economy. Our Fire Company was incorporated on March 28, 1921, and was once located in what is now the Borough Office.
