Description

View of Harrisburg, Dauphin County, P.A., 1855 / drawn & published by J. T. Williams. Lith.

This panoramic print, indicated from the north, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was drawn on stone from nature and daguerreotype by J. Thomas Williams and printed in color by E. Sachse & Co. in 1855. The capital city of Pennsylvania got its start as a trading center and stopover for west bound travelers as they encountered the upcoming pass through the Appalachian Mountains.

Settled by Europeans in the early 1700's, the community was incorporated in 1791 and named after settler John Harris, Sr. The town was laid out by John Harris, Jr. and named state capital in 1812.

By the 1850's, Harrisburg’s interests were turning towards the iron and steel industries.
