Though not far from the hustle and bustle of Harrisburg, New Cumberland Borough’s
charm lies in its small town atmosphere and sense of community that extends
from shopkeepers on Bridge Street to the borough’s creek side park, once the site
of an iron forge and saw mills in the borough’s early days.

A sense of history is important to the people who call New Cumberland home.
Residents and business people alike strive to better their hometown with the same
drive of early settlers who seized the opportunity presented by the nearby Susquehanna River
and Yellow Breeches Creek as perfect transportation routes for lumber they could produce
in saw mills – thus giving birth to the town’s first industry.

On paper, the borough, incorporated in 1831 in the southeast section of Cumberland County,
is home to almost 7,500 people and covers about 1.7 square miles.

At its core, it is people living life together that makes New Cumberland a pleasant place to live or work.
Spread a blanket at the New Cumberland Summer Picnic, tune into the  town band on
July Fourth, or celebrate the changing seasons at the annual Apple Festival –
and you’ll see what makes this “small town” so special!
