About Paxtonia, Pennsylvania

Paxtonia is a community of 5,450 people in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, about 6 miles east of downtown Harrisburg. It is one of the township's three villages, and like its neighbor Colonial Park, it took shape in the 20th century.

Allentown Boulevard, which is U.S. Route 22, runs through the middle of Paxtonia, and Interstate 81 forms its northern edge. The highway separates it from Linglestown to the north, while Colonial Park borders it on the west.

  • Peace, or PeshtankPaxtonia takes its name from Paxton, and the township gives two possible origins for that name. One joins the Latin pax, meaning peace, with ton, the Scottish word for town. The other traces it to Peshtank, the name the Susquehannock gave this area, which changed over time to Paxtang and then to Paxton.
  • A printer turned developerWilliam Thomas Bissell was a farmer's son, born in Harford County, Maryland, on October 31, 1848. He went to school in Belair and at the Harford Academy, learned printing, then moved to Camden, New Jersey, and went into real estate. A 1910 history of New Jersey credits him with developing and settling Paxtonia, along with suburbs of Allentown and York.
  • 5,450 people in 2020The census counted 5,412 people in Paxtonia in 2010 and 5,450 in 2020, on 2.3 square miles of land in the center of Lower Paxton Township.
