Accident LawyersIn 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.
