About Lancaster (Pennsylvania)
Lancaster is home to a very diverse group of people. It is a strong agricultural town with various farmlands, lush vegetation and great produce all over. This is because the Amish dwell in and around Lancaster's many townships. The Amish are fairly isolated from the rest of the community, but they are acknowledged, respected, and not bothered. They are masters of farming and simple living, for they don't use electricity. They teach in their own schools, and they have their own churches. They get around by horse and buggy and they are easily seen, wearing black suits, hats, and bonnets. Founded in 1729, Lancaster was the capital of the United States for a single day on September 27, 1777, as thefounding fathers fled the British. Lancaster has evolved from Pennsylvania's capital back in 1799
