Description

View of Millersville, Lancaster County, P.A., 1894 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer.

This panoramic print of Millersville, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1894. Millersville was founded by blacksmith and landowner John Miller. The land on which it stood was found to be rich in limestone. In the early 1800's, saw and grist mills were built along the creeks and much of the forests were harvested.

The soil was cultivated into fine agricultural fields and pastures mostly by the newly emigrated Swiss and German followers of Menno Simon called Mennonites. The farmer��s established productive fields and orchards. They became huge producers of wheat, corn, oats and particularly fine tobacco. Millersville maintained as a trade center for agriculture. There was a woolen factory in town as well as a large agricultural implement works and several cigar manufactories.

The Millersville Normal School was established in Millersville in 1855 as Lancaster County Normal School. The school would become a popular teacher��s college in the early 1900's.
