Snyder County, Administrative county in Pennsylvania, United States.
Located in the Ridge and Valley region of the Appalachian Mountains, Snyder County spans 332 square miles of land with forests and agricultural areas.
Snyder County emerged from Union County on March 2, 1855, receiving its name from Simon Snyder, a three-term governor of Pennsylvania from Selinsgrove.
The Pennsylvania German heritage shapes local traditions through regular county fairs, farming practices, and the preservation of historical buildings like Governor Snyder Mansion.
The county contains two major transportation routes: U.S. Routes 11/15 along the Susquehanna River and U.S. Route 522 connecting multiple municipalities.
More than 400 active farms operate across Snyder County, while approximately fifty percent of the territory maintains its original forest coverage.
