For newcomers – and lifelong residents who take the time to notice – this portion of the state holds an arresting allure.
Nestled among rolling mountain ridges, broad valleys, deep forests and meandering streams and brooks, the region offers a serene and tranquil environment.
A central feature of the area is the Susquehanna River, the nation’s longest, non-navigable waterway flowing through Pennsylvania’s rural heartland south to Harrisburg and, ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. Throughout the centuries, this meandering river has shaped the region’s economic, community and cultural life, giving definition to people whose values and strong work ethic provided the foundation for the region’s entrepreneurial spirit.
