Williamsport

Williamsport is a county seat in Pennsylvania between the west branch of the Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Mountain. The streets show buildings from the 1800s spread across different neighborhoods.

The city grew in the 19th century through timber processing and became the world's leading center for this industry. The wealth from this era enabled the building of large houses along a street known as Millionaire's Row.

The name honors an early settler and landowner, while today the city serves as home to two colleges that shape daily life. Many old wooden houses from the lumber boom era still stand and show how people built at that time.

Interstate 180 and U.S. Route 15 pass through the city and connect it to other places in the region. Public transportation runs within the urban area and makes it easier to move around without a personal vehicle.

The Little League Baseball World Series takes place every year in nearby South Williamsport and brings together teams from around the world. This event draws families and visitors interested in youth baseball.
