Return to Index History & History Related Items Palmyra history: Dr. John Palm (1713-1799) is known as the founder of Palmyra having secured his 100 acre tract of land here in 1766. The town was first known as Palmstown to honor its founder. This happened on 1 april 1804 when the post office was established. It was changed to Palmyra in 1805, but no one knows exactly why the change was made. Palmyra was once the name of an ancient caravan city (now called Tudmur) in central Syria. A desert oasis, Palmyra dates past Biblical times. In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 12, Abraham gathers his family and possessions and begins the journey to the land of Canaan, a trip that took him through four regions whose town names appear in Wayne County: Palmyra, Damascus, Galilee, and finally Canaan. (If he lived in Wayne County today, he could stop off in Abrahamsville.) Biblical town names are not uncommon to eastern Pennsylvania. They include Nazareth, Ararat, Bethlehem and Mt. Carmel."
