A Brief History of Latimore Township, Pa.

The streams of Latimore Township are Bermudian Creek, which runs east by south
across the southern part of the township, and Latimore Creek, a native stream,
which enters Bermudian Creek near the old Wolford Farm, west of Mechanicsville. 
This creek, with its two northern branches and west fork, drains the entire
central and northern districts of the township.  Mud Run forms the southern
boundary of Latimore.  The sulphur springs, near the line of Huntington
Township, and numerous petty streams are found within the limits of the
township.  The South Mountain runs across the northern part of the township,
making the line separating it from South Middleton Township in Cumberland County
very distinct.

The soil of the township is generally fertile, but owing to the long years it
has yielded to the husbandman, recourse has to be had to fertilizers.  Blue
shale, arenaceous, is found on Bermudian Creek, one mile and a half southwest of
Mechanicsville; dolerite, greenish arenaceous shale, three miles southeast of
York Springs; quartzose conglomerate, two miles southeast of York Springs;
variegated sandy mud rock, red quartz conglomerate, bog ore with large quartz
pebbles embedded, float ore near west line of Latimore, red shale, reddish
argillite with green spots and streaks, hard finely laminated argillite, sandy
argillite, red sandstone, laminated fine grained red sandstone, quartz,
dolerite, fine grained syenite, hard blue argillite or mud rock.

The Carlisle & Hanover pike road, built in 1810, runs through the western part
of the township.  In 1833 John Walsh built a covered wooden bridge over Latimore
Creek for $900.  In 1853 John Finley built the Bermudian bridge on the Dillsburg
and East Berlin road, near Bosserman’s mill, for $1,360.
