About Tower City

Tucked into the scenic Williams Valley between forested mountain ridges, Tower City is a quiet, close-knit borough with deep coal-country roots. The town follows the path of Wiconisco Creek along Route 209, creating a compact community where classic older homes, local shops, and neighborhood spots sit close together. It offers a relaxed, small-town pace of life surrounded by the peaceful hills and outdoor recreation of central Pennsylvania.

Because Tower City sits right along the border of Schuylkill and Dauphin counties, daily life naturally connects with neighboring valley towns. Families are served by the Williams Valley School District, which brings together students from across the area for local sports and school events. For anyone looking for affordable housing, friendly neighbors, and a scenic mountain backdrop within an easy drive of Harrisburg and Pottsville, Tower City offers a comfortable, down-to-earth place to settle down.
