Quality of Life ... It’s a phrase used often when the subject of Snyder County, and particularly Selinsgrove, comes up. The charm of “America’s hometown” combines with the excitement of today’s lifestyle to create a quality of life that anyone would find fulfilling. It’s not unusual to see a young couple holding hands, strolling down the brick paved sidewalks of downtown Selinsgrove, or to hear the laughter of children on the swings at a local playground.

The friendliness is genuine - and for those lucky enough to settle here - lasting. But there’s more - Snyder County offers the highest caliber education and employment opportunities, shopping experiences, dining, lodging and medical facilities. Enjoy the arts, fine recreational and sports activities — sometimes right in your own backyard! Newcomers are drawn to Snyder County’s unique cultural heritage and its year-round recreation, hunting and fishing opportunities. The sheer beauty of unspoiled streams, forests and rolling farmlands surrounds the quiet majesty of the Susquehanna River. There is something here for everyone.

Through this web site, we hope to provide an overview of our community to the newcomer, the prospective resident and settled friends. We’re proud of our area, our people and the businesses that thrive here. We also have a published a book that includes much of the information here. Welcome Home, a profile of Selinsgrove and Eastern Snyder County, is produced by the Selinsgrove Chamber of Commerce.
