Jacobsburg has been documented as being historically significant. On the south side of the Bushkill Creek was a gun factory which made arms for the fledgling United States. Jacobsburg developed into an agricultural service center with the establishment of the grist mill and a saw mill. Although this village, now nonexistent, never contained a large number of settlers, in 1874, it had an inn, grist mill, saw mill, tannery, and school.
