ELIZABETHTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA

Elizabethtown is borough in Lancaster County. There are two stories about the origin of the town’s name. In one version it is named after Elizabeth Reeby, wife of Michael Reeby who sold the first building lots here in about 1795. The officially accepted history is that, in 1753, Captain Barnabas Hughes acquired land and laid out a town, naming it for his wife, Elizabeth. The early settlers were primarily Scots-Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch. Elizabethtown became a borough in 1827, and a railroad was built through the area in the 1830s. The town was primarily agricultural until the early 1900s, when the Klein Chocolate Company (now part of Mars, Inc.) and several shoe factories (the last of which closed in 1979) opened. Elizabethtown College was established in 1899, and the Masonic Homes (now the Masonic Village) followed in 1910. Elizabethtown is commonly referred to in south-central Pennsylvania as “E-Town.” This nickname is also used for the local college and high school.

It’s no secret Elizabethtown has a rich history but it’s also a tourist destination. No matter what time of year you’re visiting, definitely head over to Masonic Village Farm Market.

For an entrée, you can’t go wrong with the Cajun sausage and jumbo shrimp pasta. Every year, people flock to Elizabethtown to enjoy everything it has to offer, but unfortunately, so do pests.
