About New Salem
Set just southwest of the city of York, New Salem is a small, quiet borough surrounded by the open farmland of North Codorus Township. You will often hear locals and mail carriers call it York New Salem, a quirk dating back to when the post office had to avoid mix-ups with another Pennsylvania town. It offers a relaxed, close-knit atmosphere while keeping you an easy drive from shopping, dining, and highway commutes around the county.
