About Orrstown

Orrstown is a tiny, peaceful borough nestled in the rural heart of Franklin County, home to just over 200 people. Founded in the 1830s along an old route between Shippensburg and Upper Strasburg, the town started as a stop for livestock drivers heading to eastern markets. Today, the village is surrounded by the scenic farmland of Southampton Township, offering quiet country living and a tight-knit neighborhood feel.

It is an appealing spot for anyone seeking low-traffic country living while staying close to the everyday amenities of south-central Pennsylvania.
