Centrally located in Cumberland County, the Borough of Carlisle, established in 1751, is one of Pennsylvania’s most treasured historic communities. Carlisle’s history is rich, ideals are plentiful, and diversity abundant.

Unique architecture, quaint shops, and overall serenity greet you as you stroll through downtown Carlisle. Our tree-lined streets invite residents and visitors alike to walk the same paths as those walked by George Washington, Declaration of Independence signer James Wilson, Olympic medalist Jim Thorpe, and Revolutionary War heroine Molly Pitcher.

With a reputation as a growing and viable community, historic Carlisle continues to meet the ever-evolving economic needs of its residents. Success is evident on every street corner; from small businesses to large corporations, Carlisle is embracing the world of tomorrow.

Within easy walking distance of downtown Carlisle, a nurturing town/gown relationship has formed with Dickinson College, Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law, and the U.S. Army War College, known throughout the United States and abroad for their respective curriculum.

Carlisle’s cultural environment is a diverse mix typified by its award-winning restaurants, downtown theater, a growing arts community, historic sites, and multi-cultural events. One doesn’t need to venture outside the town’s limits to dine on world-class cuisine, discover artisans, experience unending entertainment, or enjoy recreational activities.

The Borough’s 18 parks provide enjoyment for children and adults not only to play but to relax and unwind. A 15-mile scenic network of trails connects all of the Borough’s parks, schools, and downtown Carlisle. The route, which includes off-and-on road trails, is a great way for walkers, runners, and bicyclists to explore Carlisle.
