The Lancaster center point is about the area of Lancaster Museum of Art and the area of Lancaster Malt Brewing Co.

The original name of Lancaster was Hickory Town, but John Wright renamed it after the English city of Lancaster. As the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia after the British captured it in 1777, the revolutionary government set itself up in Lancaster before moving farther away from Philadelphia, effectively making Lancaster the country's capital for one day. It was also the capital of Pennsylvania from 1799 to 1812 before the capital was moved to Harrisburg. More from this guide...
