Expert: Scott Talbot Date: 2/22/2007 Subject: Lancaster PA and Lancaster SC
Question I grew up in the Lancaster, PA area. I recently went thru Lancaster, SC, and was amazed at the similarities in architecture and city layout. I think this cannot be a coincidence because Lancaster SC looks different than surrounding cities and towns.
Any idea of a connection?
Answer Lowell,
That's interesting! I was aware that there were other cities named Lancaster, but I wasn't aware of any connection.
I did some research, and it seems as though Lancaster, SC, was named after Lancaster, PA. As is the case in Pennsylvania, there is a city of Lancaster, as well as a county of Lancaster in South Carolina. Looking at a map of both cities, there are similarities as to layout, though I'm not sure whether or not this was intentional.
