Tamaqua is a town in eastern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in the United States, . The name Tamaqua is a Native American word that means "Land of the Running Water". It is the only community in the world to have this name. Tamaqua was founded in 1799 by German immigrant Burkhardt Moser. Originally to be named Tuscarora, the name Tamaqua was chosen after it was realized that there already was a community named Tuscarora about four miles to the west. Roughly half of Moser's original log cabin is still intact and visible behind a house on the east side of Broad Street.Which now the house is up for sale. The discovery of anthracite coal in the region in the early 1800s led to the town's rise as a coal producing community. During the 1860s and 1870s, Tamaqua was the geographic center hub for the Molly Maguires. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
