About Williamsport
Seat of Lycoming County, Williamsport holds a place of prominence along the banks of the Susquehanna River. Its civic development stems from the booming lumber industry of the early 20th century, which made millionaires of many entrepreneurs. In fact, near downtown, "Millionaires' Row" is a five-block stretch of Victorian mansions that illustrates the wealth of these lumber barons. Also in the area are restaurants, shops, pubs (including the award-winning Bullfrog Brewery), a community theater, and the Lycoming County Historic Museum. Many of these sites can be accessed via the city's reinstituted trolley system. Out at the river, the "Hiawatha" riverboat provides narrated tours of the Susquehanna. Of course, all of this city history and attraction provides a charming background for the city's fascination with baseball - Little League baseball was founded in Williamsport! In fact, the Little League World Series is still held here each August, and the Little League Museum tells the full story of the sport, chronicling its stats and providing tons of information. Outdoor enthusiasts should also note that the city is surrounded by approximately 300,000 acres of state lands, sheer heaven for nature lovers.
Did you know?
In the late 19th century, Peter Herdic, one of the town's most influential businessmen, proposed that the city pave part of West Fourth Street with wooden blocks. Believing that such an endeavor would raise the city's prominence and quieten traffic, he convinced the town to act. The paving did spur area development in the short-term, but it also ultimately helped throw Williamsport into dire financial straits when the economy took a downturn.
