The earliest European settlers arrived in the area of present-day Schuylkill Haven in the 1730s. They traveled north of Blue Mountain at the present-day Berks-Schuylkill County line at that time. The first settler in Schuylkill Haven was John Fincher, a Quaker from Chester County, Pennsylvania, who received a land grant of 225 acres (0.91 km2) on March 5, 1750, the day Schuylkill Haven considers its unofficial founding. Fincher constructed a house and barn near the Schuylkill River, and called his small settlement "Fincher's Ford." The second known settler of Schuylkill Haven was Martin Dreibelbis, a German who arrived in the Spring of 1775.
