Blue Ball, Pennsylvania, is a village located on the original Jacob Weaver 1723 tract in the Weaverland (Weberthal) district. In 1766 Robert Wallace bought of Jacob Weaver II a 12-acre tract and built the store and tavern "at the sign of the Blue Ball." It has been a town of retired Mennonites, and a Mennonite center for machine shop products, agricultural implements, and by the 1950s banking. Weaver's Book Store and the Weaverland churches were near by. It was the center of a dense Mennonite settlement. The population was about 500 in 1950.
