Lancaster County History

Lancaster County sits in the heart of south-central Pennsylvania and has roots stretching back thousands of years to Indigenous peoples along the Susquehanna River, including the Susquehannock, Lenape, Shawnee, and others. European settlement accelerated in the early 1700s, and the county was officially created in 1729, carved out of Chester County as the colony expanded westward. Over time, the region became famous for its fertile farmland and the arrival of Anabaptist groups such as the Amish and Mennonites, whose plain lifestyle and focus on agriculture still shape the landscape and economy. The county seat of Lancaster briefly served as the capital of the United States for a day during the Revolutionary War, a quirky historical footnote that highlights the area’s strategic position. Today, Lancaster County balances its strong agricultural base with manufacturing, tourism, and service industries, while continuing to attract visitors curious about “Amish Country” and small-town Pennsylvania life.
