About Littlestown

Situated in Adams County right above the Maryland border, Littlestown offers quiet, small-town living with easy access to Gettysburg, Hanover, and northern Maryland. It began in the 1700s as a crossroads community between Gettysburg and Baltimore, and that historic character is still visible in the older homes, local churches, and neighborhood storefronts clustered around King and Queen Streets. With around 5,000 residents, it has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where people can enjoy a slower pace of life.

Families are served by the Littlestown Area School District, which conveniently groups its campuses together on the east side of town. For outdoor recreation, Littlestown Community Park and Crouse Park offer plenty of space for sports, playgrounds, and pavilions for weekend gatherings. Daily travel is simple thanks to Route 194 and Route 97, making the borough a convenient home base for commuters heading across the state line or into nearby regional job centers.
