Lancaster Overview
Lancaster is high on the list of unique cities in the US that you could call home. This Pennsylvania town is one of the oldest in the country that isn’t situated on the coast. If you choose one of the many Lancaster, PA apartments available here, you won’t run out of things to do.
What is the history of Lancaster?
For one day during the Revolutionary War, Lancaster was the capital of the US. This took place on September 27, 1777, after the British seized Philadelphia. The continental congress had to get out of town quickly so that they wouldn’t be captured. Lancaster used to have the name of “Hickory Town” and was the capital of Pennsylvania before the capital city was moved to Harrisburg in 1812.
How is the weather in Lancaster?
Lancaster is a great place to live if you want to have enough winter to experience some snow and then move on. Since it’s located in the southern part of the state, it has a favorable climate with a pleasant, long spring and fall where you can still get out and do things. Look for a great place to go swimming in the summer since it will be hot and humid.
How do I get around town?
You can certainly move your vehicle to this city and will likely want to do so. The area is pretty spread out. If you don’t have a vehicle, that’s no problem. You can hop on a bus operated by Red Rose Transit Authority to get anywhere in the city or county. Amtrak also can help with your transportation needs.
What is the Lancaster commute like?
Lancaster roadways can be congested at times since the city is a major crossroad for people going to and from the coast. If you’re looking for some of the main “veins” of the city try PA-272, PA-283, PA-72 or US-30.
What are the local media outlets?

What Lancaster landmarks should I see?
