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.

Littlestown, Pennsylvania
