Dillsburg's History - From the Community
Newsletter
In consideration of the exemplary service of Capt. Matthew Dill,
Proprietaries and governors of the province of Pennsylvania granted
him a tract of 504 acres. Early settlement took place on this land
nestled in the foothills of the beautiful and historic Blue Ridge
Mountains. Dillsburg was eventually laid out on a portion of that land,
then owned by heirs of Capt. Dill.
Dillsburg is situated at the convergence of major transportation routes
which once made the community a focal point for area agricultural
products being moved to market. Dillsburg's population neared 200 at its
incorporation in 1833.
Currently, Dillsburg is a growing community uniting surrounding areas
with its community activities, Annual Farmer's Fair, and now-famous
Pickle Drop.
