the hell he did

no, but he went to school in the area, and the town is part of his legacy.

No, and he did not go to school there. He was never even in the town. The town bought his remains as an attraction due to the steady decline of the entire area after the coal industry hit the skids. The history section on the borough website mentions nothing of Jim Thorpe himself, except for one line where they said it was named after one of the nations greatest athletes.
