History

Schoenersville is named after its

Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia and would be inherited by Adam's son, Thomas Schoener, after Adam died in 1849, before selling the property in 1852.[1]

The Allentown Democrat reported that the Blue Ball was razed on April 29, 1896, by one E.R. Benner, the village's

Recorder of Deeds, who planned to build a family home on the property. However, the local Schoenersville Inn claimed to be the original Blue Ball following a purported sale in 1830, and remained open until 1988.[1]

Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission as a historical landmark, however, the Commission rejected its landmark status, stating that it had been extensively modified too many times, and no longer had historical significance.[2]
