Located alongside the West Branch of the Susquehanna River some 24 miles west of Williamsport Pennsylvania lays the borough of Jersey Shore. No, you won't find the likes of Snooky, Paulie, or Mike "the Situation" from the famed reality TV show residing in the only real "Jersey Shore".
The naming of the community developed from competing communities Waynesburg and Nippenose Townships. As local lore has it, a rivalry developed between the two settlements, and those on the eastern shore began referring to the settlement on the western shore as "the Jersey Shore" because the original founding family had relocated from New Jersey. The name became so affixed to the location that the name was officially changed in 1826 from Waynesburg to what is known today as Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore boasts a population of approximately 4,000+ residents, a warm and welcoming community, nestled amongst excellent recreational camping, fishing and hunting.
