Excellent resource for historians and genealogists alike. Lebanon is a Biblical name meaning “White Mountain.” Lebanon, the county seat, was laid out in 1750. It was incorporated as a borough on March 28, 1799, but the citizens did not accept incorporation. It was finally chartered as a borough on February 20, 1821 and as a city in 1885. Lebanon County is located in the southeastern portion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the center of the beautiful Lebanon Valley, which is formed by the Blue Ridge of the Kittatinny range of mountains to the north and the South Mountains, or Furnace Hills, to the south. Covering an area of 363 square miles, the county is inhabited by approximately 100,000 people. Between the shale contour of the Blue Mountains and the red sandstone formations along the county’s southern edge lies the highly fertile limestone soil which is among the most productive in the nation. Beneath that soil, in the Cornwall area, could at one time be found one of the richest deposits of iron ore in the country.
