History & History Related Items Hazleton history: Hazleton was first incorporated as a borough on 31 April 1851. Then a second act for incorporation on 22 April 1956. On 4 December 1891, it was incorporated as a city. "This is the case of the famous misspelling. Hazleton was referred to as Hazel Town in the first half of the last century, because so many hazel bushes dotted the area. The name later became one word: Hazeltown, then Hazelton. But in 1856 an attorney drawing up the city's incorporation papers spelled hazel as hazle, and no one picked up on the error until it was too late. " Here is a history page for the city.
