Therapists in Jim Thorpe, PA
Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania has been called the ‘Switzerland of America’ because of the spectacular scenery and mountains of the Lehigh Gorge. It is 80 miles from Philadelphia and 100 miles from New York City. The town was first named Mauch Chunk by the Munsee-Lenape Delaware American Indian peoples. It developed into a ‘company town’ by the founders of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company. The coal would be transported to the Lehigh Canal and shipped downstream on the Delaware River.
