Founded in 1795, Williamsport is the county seat of Lycoming County and has a rich history deeply rooted in the lumber industry. In the late 19th century, the city was known as the “Lumber Capital of the World,” with its mills processing vast quantities of timber. This prosperity led to the development of “Millionaire’s Row,” a collection of Victorian mansions built by the lumber barons of the era. Williamsport is also renowned as the birthplace of Little League Baseball, established in 1939, and continues to host the annual Little League World Series, drawing visitors from around the globe.
