Cumberland County was first settled by a majority of Scots-Irish immigrants who arrived in this area about 1730.
English and German settlers constituted about ten percent of the early population. The settlers originally mostly devoted the area to
farming and later developed other trades.
These settlers built the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, among the oldest houses of
worship in central Pennsylvania, in 1738 near
present day Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
The General Assembly (legislature) of the Pennsylvania colony on January 27, 1750, created Cumberland County from Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania,
naming it for Cumberland, England. Its county seat is Carlisle.[3] The county also lies within the Cumberland Valley
adjoining the Susquehanna River at
its eastern border, stretching approximately 42 miles from the borough of Shippensburg on
the west to the Susquehanna River in east Cumberland County.
The oldest towns in the county are Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and Carlisle, Pennsylvania, each with its unique history.
Shippensburg is home to Shippensburg University
of Pennsylvania, one of 14 universities of the Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education. Carlisle is also home to Dickinson College, established in 1773, and the Penn State Dickinson School of Law.
The United States Army War College is a United States Army school located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on the 500 acre (2 km²) campus
of the historic Carlisle Barracks
a military post dating back to the 1770s. It caters to high-level military personnel and civilians
and prepares them for strategic leadership responsibilities. It is the U. S. Army's
most senior military educational institution. During the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War in the summer of 1863, Confederate troops marched through the
Cumberland Valley, briefly occupying much of Cumberland County.
In the 20th century, the suburbs of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state capital, expanded extensively into eastern Cumberland County.
Carlisle also developed suburbs in adjoining townships.
