HISTORY

History of Lancaster County Pennsylvania


In the 18th century, Lancaster was the largest inland city in America, and the tenth largest city overall. It was even the nation's capital for one day! Fortunately, it didn't keep pace with its big city cousins, and managed to hold on to much of its history.
