A Brief History of Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Lancaster was named after Lancashire, England, and its symbol is the red rose, from the house of Lancashire. In the period from the 1760s through the early 1800s, this was the largest inland town in America, and it was larger than most inland English cities as well.

Lancaster was our nations capital for one day when the Continental Congress met here in September 1777. The colonial government had withdrawn from the capital in Philadelphia to escape the approaching British troops, and stopped here for a day before moving on to York, Pennsylvania.
