The largest number of early settlers that came to Pennsylvania arrived from Germany as the result of political and religious upheaval at home. William Penn offered these settlers religious freedom that many could not find at home.
By the 1880s, the descendants of these settlers and more found themselves sitting on very fertile soil that also had huge layers of some of the greatest limestone deposits the world has ever seen – rock that was perfect for making cement.

The Atlas Portland Cement Company was the world’s largest cement producer and contributed to projects such as the Panama Canal, the Empire State Building, and the Holland Tunnel just to name a few.
