Elizabethtown, County seat in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Elizabethtown extends across northwestern Lancaster County, positioned strategically between the major cities of Harrisburg, Lancaster, and York in Pennsylvania.
The settlement, established in 1779, developed into a significant transportation hub when the Louisville and Nashville Railroad reached the area in 1858.
The Severns Valley Baptist Church stands as the first Baptist congregation established west of the Allegheny Mountains, marking religious development in the region.
The Elizabethtown Area Water Authority maintains water quality standards for 11,545 residents through regular testing and infrastructure improvements.
A Confederate cannonball from General John Hunt Morgan's 1862 attack remains embedded in a building on the public square.
