About Wakefield

Wakefield is a quiet rural hub in southern Lancaster County's Fulton Township, situated right where US 222 and PA 272 meet. That crossroads location makes it surprisingly convenient for commuters heading north into Lancaster or south across the Maryland state line. Surrounded by rolling farmland and open skies, the community provides essential everyday services, including the local post office and municipal offices for the broader Peach Bottom area.

Life in Wakefield moves at an easy, relaxed pace, with open space and the scenic Lower Susquehanna River corridor right in your backyard. Residents enjoy quick access to boating, fishing, and hiking near the river and Conowingo Dam, while local volunteer emergency crews and community events keep the rural neighborhoods connected. It is a great fit for anyone looking for quiet country living within easy reach of neighboring towns.
