History 1907 - 2001

From the time the Borough was incorporated, it has been continually thinking about it's future.  Other civic developments here and abroad were studied.  The Borough also continued to grow.  Between 1906 and the 1940's several additional tracts of land were annexed to the Borough from both Spring and Cumru Townships.  However 1949-1950 saw the largest annexation, in the addition of the area north of the railroad tracts known as Berkshire Heights.  This drastically changed the Borough map.
 
From that point forward, the Borough has changed from farmland to a large residential and commercial community.  The last farmland worked in the Borough was part of the Hartman Farm along VanReed Road.  This land was sold into commercial development in the early 1990's.  This includes the land where Border's Book and other businesses are now located.

The Borough of Wyomissing maintains over 175 acres of parklands for the enjoyment of Borough residents.  At the same time the Borough provides numerous activities throughout the year, including parades, concerts, swimming pool activities, and the like.
