On January 11, 1814, Isaac Rohrer laid out 130 building lots by lottery, establishing the town, originally called “Mount Pleasant,” for its elevated location offering views across the countryside. When the first post office arrived in 1842, postal officials required a name change—Pennsylvania already had another Mount Pleasant. The town became Mountville. Located four miles east of Columbia on the Lancaster and Susquehanna Turnpike, Mountville incorporated as a borough in 1906 to establish a municipal water system. The original Charles Chips potato chip factory operated here, producing chips that became a household name across America. Today, roughly 3,000 residents live in this western Lancaster County borough. Mountville boasts one of Pennsylvania’s highest ratios of public park space per capita, with five parks serving the community. From homes on Main Street to neighborhoods spreading through just under one square mile, properties here depend on heating, cooling, and plumbing systems performing reliably year-round.
