Dauphin County lies in the heart of central Pennsylvania. Home to the magnificent State Capitol Complex and the nationally-acclaimed Hersheypark amusement center, Dauphin County serves up a broad slice of life, from ultra-hip to the homey. Situated within a short driving distance of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington D.C., the region contains the best of both worlds; both cosmopolitan chic and down-home country. The county also boasts a modern highway system and newly renovated airport. Like the glistening, mile-wide Susquehanna River at its western border, Dauphin County is a dazzling place to live, work and play.
