Mauch Chunk Patriotism
Mauch Chunk, PA is arguably where the roller coaster was invented, in the form of the “Mauch Chunk Scenic Railway” which was in fact a repurposed coal train. In 1954 two cross-river boroughs merged and the new town named Jim Thorpe although the athlete had no connection to the town. His remains and a memorial lie just outside the town.
