The community was founded in 1756 by Moravians fleeing religious persecution in Europe. The name of Lititz was given by Count Zinzendorf, the leader of the Moravians, after the town Lidice in Moravia. The beautiful church begun by these settlers in 1757 still stands in the church square surrounded by other buildings of that period and by Linden Hall, the oldest girls school in America.

After 1855 the community was open to others, and many members of other religious groups, such as Brethren, Mennonite, and Lutherans, came to play an increasingly important part in Lititz.

Today the prosperity of Lititz is based on agriculture, industry and tourism. We are located in the heart of one of the great tourist areas of our country, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We urge our policyholders and our agents to come and pay us a visit. You may be sure of a warm welcome here.
