Beschreibung
Damascus Township was formed in 1798, though the first recorded settlers arrived in 1755 at Cushetunk, as the area was called by the Lenni Lenape Indians. Skirmishes and battles between white settlers and other Indian tribes were fierce, with homes burned and lives lost. When peace was restored, other settlements were created and dotted the countryside. Some of the notable surnames in the area were Skinner, Thomas, Conklin, Tyler, Shields, and Bush, with each family lending a valuable contribution to the community. Images of America: Around Damascus Township is a glimpse into the past, revealing the founding families and their descendants, why they stayed, how they survived, and what they enjoyed.
