East Haven was founded in the late 1840s as a “suburb” of White Haven on the opposite bank of the Lehigh River (in Luzerne County). Located on the east side of Dam No. 1 on the Upper Grand Division of the Lehigh Canal, it had ample water power supplied by a dam race. Lucius Blakslee, a brother in law of Asa Packer, ran a ferry connecting the two villages for many years. The Lehigh Navigation gave East Haven easy access to the great markets of the south and east. Lumber was the major product.
