New Cumberland PA 

When you think of New Cumberland, you might associate it with the Army Depot. But, our southernmost town on the banks of the West Shore was originally a ferry site for early English, Irish, Scottish and German settlers crossing the Yellow Breeches Creek.

Today, a historic iron bridge welcomes visitors to this friendly community. The "Olde Towne Association" is restoring New Cumberland's neighborhoods with brick sidewalks and period decorative details to attract shoppers, tourists, prospective residents and businesses. Discover New Cumberland by visiting some of the highlighted shopping areas and restaurants.

•  A New Cumberland native son was also part Native American. Peter Chartier, who ran a trading post and served as an Indian interpreter in New Cumberland in the early 1700's, was the son of a Shawnee woman and French fur trader.
