Charming historic town along the Susquehanna
The downtown section of New Cumberland might qualify as an old town with its historic Art Deco theater and more than century-old buildings. But its charm and community spirit are timeless. Established in the 1800s as a commercial stop along the Susquehanna River between York and Harrisburg, New Cumberland evolved into a small yet lively community that acts as a stopping point for folks commuting into the busy state capital. A relaxed lifestyle and charming locally owned shops continue to attract a vibrant tapestry of residents to this highly walkable neighborhood. “Everything is welcoming,” says long-time local Christine Leukus, president of the Olde Towne Association. “Our community is becoming more diverse in all kinds of ways.”

Neighborly shops and eateries on Bridge Street
Across from the local post office, the neon-lit West Shore Theater screens classic movies and hosts live performances by bands and comedians. As one of the community's main assets, the theater also plays a significant role in new festivals and community events highlighting local artists, independent filmmakers and cultural dance groups. Outward from this central focal point on Bridge Street – the community's main commercial corridor – a collection of shops and restaurants buzz with locals indulging in a sweet treat at Hanna’s Ice Cream Shoppe or neighbors catching up over a cold refreshment at Wild Rabbit Pies & Pints. Over the roadway's namesake bridge, folks can quickly travel across Yellow Breeches Creek to shop for groceries and other essentials at Rite Aid, Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree and Giant.
