Perry County

Perry County was originally part of Cumberland County. In 1820, it was named after Commodore Perry, the hero of the War of 1812.

On the east side of the county is the Susquehanna. The rest of the county is bordered by mountains. There are exceptional grasslands and forests for hunting, fishing and recreation. Look for many quaint buildings, roads, shops, etc.

Pennsylvania is No. 1 in covered bridges. Perry County has 14 all by itself. That is a large number for any county.

Perry is one of those counties that you love to visit. The people are friendly. The scenery is spectacular. Its beauty is unsurpassed.

Whether it is a fishing trip, a hunting trip, or just a day trip for sightseeing, you won't be disappointed by Perry County. Visit the Perry County web page.
