A rural small-town community with Colonial roots
Maytown dates all the way back to America’s Colonial days, with wealthy landowners purchasing the land in 1760. Today, Maytown still feels like a slice of history with brick Colonial buildings lining the small town streets. “We are a cute, small town with a great community, and I love living here,” says Realtor and resident Rose Madar with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty. Maytown Center Square is at the intersection of High and River Streets, featuring a small collection of headstones, trees and American flags. “The square is in the middle of our town and overlooked by several neighborhood organizations,” Madar says. Farms and crop fields cushion the area around Maytown, giving it a rural feel and creating a quieter atmosphere away from busy suburban and city life.
Maytown is steeped in history, founded in 1760.
