About Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
Chambersburg serves as the county seat of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and is located within the historic Cumberland Valley. Founded in 1730 by Benjamin Chambers, the community developed into an important transportation and commercial center along major travel routes connecting Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the Shenandoah Valley.
The town played a notable role in early American history, including the French and Indian War and the Civil War.
