Directory Information for Jonestown

Jonestown, PA History

Jonestown is a borough in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of the Lebanon County, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,028 at the 2000 census.

Originally, Jonestown was called Williamsburg.

In 1813, Thomas Walker, a politician, was scheduled to vote on whether Jonestown or Lebanon should become the county seat of Lebanon County. But on the day of the vote two men from the Lebanon faction took Walker to the Buck Hotel (still open and located in the main square of Jonestown) and kept buying him rum until he was too intoxicated to vote. As a result, Lebanon won by a vote and is now home to the county courthouse.

In 1961, Jonestown celebrated its bicentennial. Nearly 30,000 people showed up to enjoy the festivities which included a parade and many other festivites that spanned over 8 days.

Recently, due to new construction of housing developments, the population continues to grow.

In 2011, Jonestown will celebrate its 250th anniversary along with hosting the "Firemans Parade".

A survey conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces.net has named Lebanon as the least stressful city in the United States. The survey found the area which includes Harrisburg and Carlisle to score well in the areas of low crime, low divorce rates, short average commute times and low unemployment. The strong work ethic and skilled workers have brought one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. The combination of factors has earned Lebanon the second place title as second least stressful city in the nation.
