Tannersville was founded circa 1750 by Jason Wohlers, formerly of Philadelphia. According to one historian, the community was first called Pocono Point. Many native American trails located here were widened for stagecoach use, and later evolved into highways. Two of the most famous of these are the Lackawanna Trail (now Rt. 611), which ran through Tannersville, and Sullivan's Trail. Learned's Tavern, which most recently operated as The 1740 Alpine Inn but burned down in 2000, was established along the Lackawanna Trail. In 1779, it was the last building on the frontier. On June 18, 1779, General John Sullivan and his soldiers camped here. They then cut a road through the wilderness. That road subsequently became known as (now Sullivan's Trail. Tannersville is currently home to the Pocono Premium Outlets. Geography
