Here in Lycoming County you can take a stroll down historic Millionaires’ Row; referred to by Victorian Homes Magazine as " Pennsylvania’s Mother lode for Victorian architecture". On your visit you’ll see brightly tree-lined streets hanging like a backdrop behind the estates left from a time when timber ruled the area. Bring your mitt and take a dive for a foul ball at a Crosscutters or Little League Baseball World Series game.

Experience the outdoors on the Pine Creek Trail, ranked as one of the best in the world by USA Today, and passes through the Tioga and Tiadaghton state forests. Whether on horseback, bike or even on foot, you’ll love this 62-mile path created on a former railroad bed.

Trout and bass fishing are especially popular in Lycoming County. If you’re like most fishermen, you’ll fall in love with the same spots the locals have favored for years: Slate Run, Loyalsock, Black Hole and Pine Creek.

History

Lycoming County was formed from Northumberland County on April 13, 1795. At the time it was formed, the county was much larger than it is today. It took up most of the land that is now north central Pennsylvania. Lycoming County was originally named Jefferson County in honor of Thomas Jefferson. The name change went through several steps. First a change to Lycoming County was rejected, next the name Susquehanna County was struck down as was Muncy County, before the legislature revisited and settled on Lycoming County for Lycoming Creek the stream that was the center of the pre-Revolutionary border dispute.
