Box 72 The community was founded in 1762 as Frederickstown, when Frederick and Rosina Hummel purchased land along Swatara Creek. Hummelstown was incorporated as a Borough in During the 19th century, the nearby Union Canal at Swatara Creek was an important factor in travel and trade in the area. From 1867 to 1929 the Hummelstown Brownstone Company operated quarries just south of town and provided employment for residents of the Hummelstown- Hershey area. Many small flourishing companies added to the vibrancy of the town and its proximity to Hershey and the state capital made it an ideal place to live. Hummelstown Borough is planning to celebrate its 250th anniversary in Today, about 4,360 residents live in the borough, which encompasses approximately 1.3 sq. miles. It continues to thrive as more and more people are attracted to the area s outstanding quality of life, housing, and business opportunities. In 2005, Money Magazine ranked Hummelstown 61st of 100 best places to live. Hummelstown is a vibrant, historical community offering specialty shops, casual and fine dining and a variety of services and professions. Just two miles from Hershey, the community has benefited from the establishment in 1987 of the Hummelstown Business & Professional (HBPA), which was formed for the purpose of beautifying the downtown shopping area and promoting its business and history. Today, HBPA continues its mission to promote the commercial, industrial, civic and general interest of the Hummelstown area. We welcome you to our community and hope you will visit often.
