Hershey, PA

Hershey is a census-designated place in Dauphin County, best known as the chocolate company town built around Milton S. Hershey's business and philanthropy. That legacy transformed the community into a major tourist destination, with Hersheypark, Hershey's Chocolate World, and company history shaping its public image. But Hershey is also a real local center, with schools, medical facilities, sports venues, and residential neighborhoods. It feels unusually branded, yet still rooted in central Pennsylvania's small-town landscape.
