NOTICE - LOCATION CHANGE!
Though not far from the hustle and bustle of Harrisburg,
New Cumberland Borough’s charm lies in its small town atmosphere and sense of community that extends
from shopkeepers on Bridge Street to the borough’s
creek side park, once the site of an iron forge and
saw mills in the borough’s early days.
A sense of history is important to the people who call
New Cumberland home. Residents and business people
alike strive to better their hometown with the same drive of
early settlers who seized the opportunity presented by the
nearby Susquehanna River and Yellow Breeches Creek as
perfect transportation routes for lumber they could produce
in saw mills – thus giving birth to the town’s first industry.
On paper, the borough, incorporated in 1831 in the
southeast section of Cumberland County, is home to almost
7,500 people and covers about 1.7 square miles.
On foot, the borough is a delightful mix of shops, restaurants, businesses and civic organizations, its own library, and just enough hustle to make community life interesting.
At its core, it is people living life together that makes
New Cumberland a pleasant place to live or work.
Spread a blanket at the New Cumberland Summer Picnic,
tune into the town band on July Fourth, or celebrate the
changing seasons at the annual Apple Festival –
and you’ll see what makes this “small town” so special! |
