About Shartlesville

Tucked along the base of Blue Mountain right off Interstate 78, Shartlesville is a quiet, historic village in northern Berks County. Settled back in the mid-1700s, the town grew up around local inns and agriculture along the old stage routes. Today, it keeps that peaceful rural charm, surrounded by rolling hills and open farmland while still giving commuters a direct route to Hamburg, Reading, and Allentown.
