This rare postcard depicts the Emmaus/Emaus PA baseball team in Lehigh County.
The reason for the variation in spelling is because the name changed. From its founding in 1759 until 1830, the settlement\'s name was spelled \"Emmaus.\" From 1830 until 1938, however, the community used the Pennsylvania Dutch spelling of the name, \"Emaus,\" with a line above the \"m\" to indicate a double letter. As English began emerging as the prevalent language in Pennsylvania, however, the line often was often omitted, leading to confusion about the correct spelling.
In 1938, the local Rotary Club circulated petitions in support of changing the spelling to \"Emmaus,\" and its spelling was changed to match the English version of the Bible\'s King James Version. Despite the 1938 spelling change, a major borough thoroughfare, Emaus Avenue, continues to retain the pre-1938 spelling.
