Lower Paxton Township

Lower Paxton Township has served as an agricultural and residential community in Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna Valley since the 18th century. Northeast of Harrisburg, it stretches from established suburban districts toward the Susquehanna River, while Paxtang Creek passes through the township. Its name preserves the Paxton settlement, one of the early communities of what became Dauphin County. Fort Hunter on the riverfront recalls the frontier era of the French and Indian War and later developed around an eighteenth-century estate. Today, Lower Paxton combines neighborhoods, parks and commercial corridors with easy access to Pennsylvania’s state capital.
