How the Carrick Post Office Started in 1853
Carrick started as a small village. A county history printed in 1889 says it had several hundred people. It had local stores, a Methodist church and a new Odd Fellows hall. The Carrick post office had been open since December 23, 1853. The Engleart glassworks were close by, and the book says the village was sometimes called Engleartville. The same book lists people whose mail came to the Carrick post office. One was R. Woodford, born in 1835. His father, William, came over from England in 1822. The same name is printed on the map today, on East Woodford Avenue and West Woodford Avenue. And the post office name is printed on Carrick Avenue and across the title panel.
The John M. Phillips Marker on Brownsville Road
A state historical marker stands at St. Pius X Byzantine Catholic Church, 2336 Brownsville Road. It honors John M. Phillips, who lived from 1861 to 1953. His home was on that spot. The marker says he created the state game land system. It became a model for the whole nation. He helped start the Pennsylvania Game Commission. He was also one of the first to bring Boy Scouting to Pennsylvania. Brownsville Road runs through the center of the map, with red buildings along both sides.
