History edit
Hagersville post office was established in 1851, with Francis Gerhard as postmaster. The village was named for Colonel George Hager, who was a politician of local prominence. Samuel Hager, another member of this influential family, was the founder of Perkasie. By the 1870s, Hagersville had a population of approximately 150 and had a store and hotel, as well as blacksmith and wheelwright shops which thrived on the two coach factories also located here. Frederick Heany, son of a Rockhill settler/German immigrant, owned the hotel circa 1875. He is notable as one of the leaders of the Fries Rebellion.
