Dating back to the 18th century, the oldest settlement and largest Amish community in the US can be found in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Named after the English city of Lancaster, Lancaster County was founded in 1729 and it played a significant role in the American Revolution as it was on many occasions battlefield during the war. 

Today, the county is a popular destination for those who come to explore its historic sites and enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.

One of the most well-known features of Lancaster County is its Amish community, known for its distinctive clothing, horse-drawn buggies remaining a primary form of transportation, and refusal to use modern technology such as electricity and cars, with thousands still living the centuries-old "Plain" lifestyle.
