Borough of Jersey Shore

Borough of Jersey Shore Jersey Shore is located along the West Shore of the Susquehanna River, between Williamsport & Lock Haven. Jersey Shore was once called Waynesburg.

Jersey Shore provides many recreation opportunities along the Susquehanna River and Pine Creek as well as biking, hiking, camping, and more. It is said that it was named after Anthony Wayne, a famous Revolutionary War General who served at Valley Forge in 1777 under General George Washington. In the late 1770s, the town’s first doctor, James Davidson, settled in Waynesburg, who also served under General Washington. The Scotch-Irish families that began settling on the Eastern branch of the Susquehanna River referred to Waynesburg as the Jersey shore as most of the settlers in Waynesburg were from New Jersey who moved to the area to own farmland after the Revolutionary War. For over 30 years, the two names were used to describe the settlement. However, as more and more people came to settle here, the name Jersey Shore won! In 1812, surveyors made a complete map of town streets; and in 1826, Jersey Shore was formally incorporated as a town. Many of the historical homes are still standing today. With its small-town atmosphere and picturesque location, Jersey Shore is a unique, pleasant place to both call home or to visit.

For the safety of residents, the brush area will be inaccessible during this work due to the size of the equipment and the nature of the operation.
