History:

Fort Hunter Park commands a magnificent view of the Susquehanna River and Blue Mountains beyond. It was originally settled in 1725 by Benjamin Chambers, who later founded Chambersburg. Samuel Hunter, Chamber's brother-in-law, inherited the well-favored property which included grist and saw mills. The bustling settlement thus became known as Hunter's Mill.
