History
From its crossroads genesis in the 1720s until the Mason-Dixon line was established, the town now known as Rising Sun was actually located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Mason–Dixon Line (or "Mason and Dixon's Line" is a Demarcation line between four U Chester County (known colloquially as "Chesco" is a County located in the U The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ( often colloquially referred to as PA (its abbreviation by natives and Northeasterners is a state located in the Northeastern The taxes were paid in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and all the early deeds and records are still recorded there. The Borough of West Chester is the County seat of Chester County Pennsylvania, United States. The town occupied part of what were the controversial “Nottingham Lots” claimed by William Penn and given to his Quaker friends in 1702 over the vigorous objection of Maryland’s Calverts. William Penn ( October 14, 1644 – July 30, 1718) was founder and "Absolute Proprietor" of the Province of Pennsylvania, Year 1702 ( MDCCII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year Baron Baltimore, of Baltimore in County Cork, is an extinct title in the Peerage of Ireland. Messrs. Mason and Dixon settled the dispute by determining that the area in question was indeed a part of Maryland.
Records show that, around 1720, Henry Reynolds established a stone tavern on Nottingham Lot No. 17 to serve as a stage stop. Over the entrance was a swinging sign depicting the rays of the sun at dawn and the lettering THE RISING SUN. It was around this busy tavern that the village of Summer Hill began to grow.
Located along the direct route between Baltimore and Philadelphia, the tavern enjoyed growth in its popularity as a meeting place for business deals, political maneuvering, elections, and sundry other activities. Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə Travelers and locals alike adopted the habit of saying “We’ll meet at The Rising Sun. ” The phrase was so entrenched by the time the town’s first post office was established around 1815, that Summer Hill yielded to Rising Sun as the official name of the place. Year 1815 ( MDCCCXV) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year It is likely that the post office was actually located in the tavern.
Soon after the town’s incorporation in 1860, the commissioners constructed slate sidewalks, erected coal-oil street lamps, and hired a lamplighter, who doubled as bailiff and street maintenance man. Year 1860 ( MDCCLX) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Leap year starting Six years later, the Baltimore Central Railroad began to serve Rising Sun, and the pace of growth accelerated. Most of the town’s current structure has been built since then.
Today, Rising Sun is the business hub of a large area of farmland and rolling countryside encompassing most of the northwest corner of Cecil County. It is also home to many schools. [. . . ]
