HISTORY
Beechersville, a small settlement founded in 1825 by David Beecher along the Conewago Creek, is illustrative of small industrial areas in early Adams County. As early as the 1770s, a carding and fulling mill had been erected in the area. Beecher built a tannery in 1825 and in 1832 erected the Conewago Woolen Factory with Robert Morrison. Next came a paper mill along the creek in 1837. Later it was converted into a box board factory. The Conewago Paper Company, founded in 1873, enlarged that factory and began producing straw printing paper. For 50 years the village was an active small industrial area.
