Your Local Guide to Lititz, PA

Lititz is a walkable small town in northern Lancaster County, about 20 minutes north of Lancaster city and 20 minutes south of Schaefferstown. Its Main Street is lined with shops, restaurants and old brick and stone buildings, and Lititz Springs Park sits right in the middle of town. Budget Travel once named it the Coolest Small Town in America, and people who live here will tell you it still fits.

A town with real history. Moravian settlers founded Lititz in 1756, and you can still see their church square and buildings today. Linden Hall, founded in 1746, is one of the oldest girls' schools in the country. The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, opened in 1861, is known as the first commercial pretzel bakery in America. Every Fourth of July, Lititz Springs Park hosts one of the oldest Independence Day celebrations around, with thousands of candles lit along the park.

Around it, Warwick and Elizabeth Townships have newer neighborhoods, larger lots and some farm properties.
