History

In 1987, Raymond Carr, the sole owner of Morgantown Properties, petitioned Berks County Court to create a new borough from 3,500 acres (14 km2) in Caernarvon and Robeson townships. The fate of the proposal was determined by the ten residents living within the boundaries of the proposed borough, most of whom were Carr's tenants. In an April 1988 election, those residents voted 9-1 in favor of forming the new borough.[2] The state's procedures on formation of a new borough have since been revised to require new boroughs to have at least 500 residents.

According to court documents, "[a]side from the landfill and trash to steam plant, Carr propose[d] to develop the new borough with a Victorian village, planned residential developments, a cultural center, a mixed use center, commercial areas, agricultural areas and open space areas. The Victorian village would include a 1,000 room hotel and 18-hole golf course, and would operate year round."[3] Most of the borough's developed land is currently taken up by the Conestoga Landfill, while the Victorian village has yet to be built.[4] There are currently plans in the works for the construction of a new residential area in the borough, called Bryn Eyre,[5] as well as a hospital.[6]
