Schoenersville, Pennsylvania

Schoenersville is named after its original settler, Adam Schoener, who established a farm in the area that would become the village in 1784.

Adam and his wife would build a brick house near Christ's Church, the oldest religious structure in Hanover township.

However, the local Schoenersville Inn claimed to be the original Blue Ball following a purported sale in 1830, and remained open until 1988.

From the early 1990s through July 2004, the Airport Authority bought up and cleared 11 of the village's properties, in a total of 35 acres, in order to comply with an FAA mandate for a runway protective zone.

The most prominent property demolished was Partridge in a Pear Tree, the only clothing store in town, which had been open since 1979, with the building it occupied being built in 1868.
