About Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is a welcoming borough in southern York County, situated just four miles north of the Maryland border along Interstate 83. With a population of around 3,800, it offers a quiet, small-town lifestyle that makes it a popular choice for commuters working in York or the greater Baltimore area. Historic roots run deep here, reflected in the charming nineteenth-century homes and local storefronts along Main Street, all framed by the rolling hills and farmland of southern Pennsylvania.
