Birdsboro Jobs

Birdsboro is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, eight miles southeast of Reading. In the past, Birdsboro was noted for its large foundries and machine shops, all of which are no longer in operation. The population has increased slowly from 2,261 in 1890 to 2,264 in 1900 to 2,930 in 1910. The population was 5,064 at the 2000 census. In 1987, torrential rains over a period of several days caused Hay Creek to flood PA State Route 82 which runs through the Borough, washing out several bridges. After many years of discussion between local and state officials, the decision was finally made in 2004 that the bridges would not be rebuilt. Instead, the former road connecting Birdsboro to Robeson Township would be used formally as a nature trail, as it had been informally used since the time of the flood.
