Lititz, Historic borough in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Lititz stretches across 2.3 square miles of land with tree-lined streets, retail districts along Main and Broad Streets, and Lititz Run flowing through downtown.
The Moravian Church members established this settlement in 1756, naming it after Litice Castle in Bohemia, and initially restricted residency to their congregation members.
The annual Independence Day celebration, initiated in 1813, continues with a Queen of Candles Pageant and fireworks display in the community.
The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, Wilbur Chocolate Store, Heritage Map Museum, and numerous specialty shops populate the central business district.
