In the mid-1800's, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, (current population 31,933; and 23.017 sq. kilometers land area), was known throughout the nation as the Lumber Capital of the world. It was a city of millionaires. One of the largest cities in northern central Pennsylvania from the beginning, Williamsport shows great pride in its history and accomplishments. Its citizens also show great humor.  Williamsport high school teams are called "The Millionaires."

Many visitors, and residents alike, celebrate the early and excellent public transportation with the Great Williamsport Trolley Tour. In 1865, streetcars were horse-drawn and equipped with a small stove to keep passengers warm in the winter. Williamsport switched to electric streetcars in 1891, (one year before Philadelphia) and they ran until 1933. Today, the tour is a nostalgic ride through Williamsport's historic Millionaire's Row -- featuring the splendid Victorian mansions built by those long ago lumber barons, as well as Memorial Park where the first Little League baseball game was played  Also featured are the magnificent tree sculpture of Chief Waopalanee at the entrance to Brandon Park, the Thomas Taber Museum, and the Susquehanna State Park. Check the schedule and arrange your Trolley tour so that you can also cruise aboard the Hiawatha Paddlewheeler along the Susquehanna River.

Located in Lycoming County, at the base of Bald Eagle Mountains (1,600' elevation) and at the foothills of the Alleghenies, Williamsport, is just south of the Appalachian Plateau and on the west branch of the Susquehanna River. Founded in 1795, this strategic landing point on the Susquehanna, between the mouths of the Loyalsock and Lycoming Creeks proved an excellent river harbor with good river access to the Atlantic. Originally known as "William's Port," there are many "Williams" who claim it as namesake. Williamsport was incorporated in March, 1806 as a borough, and in January, 1866, as a city.

Lumber may no longer be king, but this beautiful Lycoming County continues to attract people with its majestic mountains, clean streams and rivers, quality education, recreational opportunities, and arts and culture.  It also attracts due to its businesses, the leadership training programs and tax incentives programs.

Williamsport is the home of the Little League International Headquarters and the Little League Museum. Another 'must see' is Reptileland.
