“The healthiest place in PA”

Welcome!

Montour County is the smallest County in Pennsylvania.  It is a rural area with rich iron and agricultural heritage.  However, we are not living in the past.

Located on the Susquehanna River and nestled in the rolling hills of the
Appalachian mountains, Montour County has an unparalleled quality of life.

  1. Bullet  - Come to enjoy our top-notch health care based community businesses.

  2. Bullet- Come enjoy our unlimited recreational opportunities like hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and just plain goofing off.

  3. Bullet- Come enjoy our rural setting, low crime, traditional small town Mill Street shopping area, and other small community benefits.

We hope that you will agree with us in calling Montour County, PA ...
