For history buffs, Lancaster has an interesting past. The same streets that are now bustling with residents, were the same streets once walked by Thomas Payne, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin. In the 1760s, Lancaster city was named for the England town of Lancashire and became a central metropolitan area. For one day in the eighteenth century, when the continental congress fled Philadelphia which was then captured by the British, Lancaster city was called the U.S. capital.
