What are some towns in pennsylvania in colonial times?
Lititz, Carlisle, Harrisburg, Lancaster, York – there are quite a few of them and they are still there. Certainly Philadelphia. I take “colonial times” to be prior to the end of the American Revolution. Even Gettysburg, famous for the Civil War period has a house that was built in 1776, late in the colonial period. There were already settlers in Central Pennsylvania by the time the French and Indian War began. As a side note, Carlisle and areas south in the Central PA area were cattle country. For a while Western PA and Western New York were the “Wild West” at least until after the French and Indian War. Many of these towns changed names at least once early in their histories, and if you visit them, evidence of their youth is still there.
