Description
Dauphin County was erected in 1785, from the northern townships of Lancaster County. Most of the early settlers were Scotch-Irish, and established Presbyterian Churches in Derry, Paxtang, and Hanover. The first German Church was Hill Lutheran, established in Derry Township in the mid 1750s; it was to be the only German church in the county for almost a decade.
