After the original influx of English, Welsh, Irish and German immigrants a large influx of peoples from the eastern and southern European countries occurred in the decades before and after the turn of the 20th century and by 1920 a population of nearly 30,000 residents was attained with the city taking on a cosmopolitan appearance. The earliest settler was a farmer named Peter Kehley, who would later discover anthracite coal in a nearby stream. In 1900, 20,321 people lived here; in 1910, 25,774 people lived here; in 1920, 24,726 people lived here; and in 1940, 19,790 people lived here.
