About Littlestown
Littlestown is a borough in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 4,782 at the 2020 census.
Originally laid out by Peter Klein in 1760, the town was first named Petersburg. German settlers in the area came to call the town Kleine Stedtle. In 1795, as confusion between the town and a neighboring town (also named Petersburg and now named York Springs) was growing, the town changed its name to Littlestown, an English translation of the German name Kleine Stedtle.
