Welcome to the city of Lebanon, PA, home to approximately 26,000 residents. Founded in 1740 by George Steitz, the town was originally called Steitztown. In 1885 the borough of Lebanon official became a city and adopted the commission form of government, consisting of four councilmen and a mayor.
There are several famous buildings in Lebanon, from the Tabor United Church of Chirst (built between 1792-1796) Lights Fort (built in 1742) is the oldest standing building of any kind in the city, and the Lebanon Railroad Station, which was built in 1900.
Besides the buildings Lebanon is also known for its Bologna, Lebanon Bologna. A cold cut meat that was first developed in the 1780’s by the Pennsylvania Dutch and still sold today. In 1914 Girolamo Guerrisi took over management of the Keystone Macaroni Company in Lebanon and within a few years would open two more manufacturing pasta plants in the city. In 1947 Guerrisi renamed the company San Giorgio, which would go on to become one of the foremost pasta manufacturers in the United States. Operations in Lebanon shutdown in 2001, but the name San Giorgio can still be found in stores throughout the Northeast U.S.
