Williamsport

Among the cities of Pennsylvania, Williamsport stands out for its role in the birth of Little League Baseball. Set on the West Branch Susquehanna River, it expanded rapidly during the 19th-century lumber boom, when local mills and timber merchants gave it the nickname “Lumber Capital of the World.” West Fourth Street’s Millionaires’ Row preserves imposing homes built by lumber barons, while downtown remains Lycoming County’s commercial and cultural center. Little League was founded here in 1939, and its Baseball World Series is played nearby in South Williamsport.
