A Brief History of Rising Sun

In the 1700s a tavern at the center of town, the location where five wagon trails and many frontier travelers met, was named The Rising Sun. Travelers often spoke of meeting there. At that time, the town was mostly a cluster of log houses. In 1802, with the arrival of a post office, the town adopted the pleasant name of Rising Sun. It was originally part of the Nottingham Lots of Pennsylvania, land given by William Penn to the colonists. But when the Mason Dixon Line was established along the Pennsylvania and Maryland state border, Rising Sun became part of Cecil County. One of the town’s most famous visitors was the Marquis de Lafayette. He and his army camped nearby on April 12, 1781.
