Residents have abundant transportation options from the Harrisburg International Airport, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and an Amtrak stop. The borough is one of the oldest in Dauphin County, founded in 1755 by George Fisher. Middletown was named then for being centrally located in the middle of Carlisle and Lancaster.

Pristine Pennsylvania parks
Middletown is home to seven public parks that are scattered throughout the community. “Then we have wonderful parks, especially Hoffer Park. They put in a new playground,” says Middletown Borough Secretary Grace Miller. “We do have boat access.” The PA Fish and Boat Commission recently reopened the boat access near Susquehanna Street Park. This allows residents an access point for unpowered boats such as kayaks and canoes. Hoffer Park is the largest at 10 acres and is located along Swatara Creek. This park has several courts, ideal for anyone looking for a competitive game. Kids can enjoy the playground and skateboarding area. Oak Hills and Frey Manor Park are both six acres. They have similar amenities, such as a basketball court, a baseball/softball field, and a playground.

Beloved local dining
“Kuppy’s Diner had an anniversary. Brownstone Café is a definite draw,” Miller says. “It’s an old bank turned restaurant. Alfred’s Victorian is another place they go to.” Kuppy’s Diner is a five-generation restaurant in the area since 1933. The retro diner spot serves breakfast and lunch dishes using original home-cooking recipes from the day they opened. Brownstone Café serves comfort classics. Locals love the restaurant's take on Chicken Pot Pie and Eggs Benedict. There are a couple of options to grab groceries. Giant is a regional chain on the community's east side. Karn Foods is a family-owned grocer located to the south.
