About South

Lebanon South is a small residential community in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, located directly south of the city of Lebanon. It lies within South Lebanon Township and the Lebanon Valley, a region shaped by agriculture, manufacturing and Pennsylvania Dutch heritage.

The wider Lebanon area is known for Lebanon bologna, local farmers markets and historic landmarks such as the Union Canal Tunnel, one of the oldest transportation tunnels in the United States. Nearby Cornwall Iron Furnace and Governor Dick Park add industrial history and outdoor recreation.

Although Lebanon South itself is mostly residential, its location places visitors close to downtown Lebanon's shops, restaurants and cultural institutions, as well as Hershey, about fifteen miles away, where attractions include Hersheypark and Chocolate World.

Lebanon County offers easy access to Harrisburg, the state capital, and the broader Pennsylvania Dutch region. The area hosts community events and fairs throughout the year, giving it a calm, small-town character while remaining within reach of larger cities.

For travelers, Lebanon South works as a practical base for visiting the Lebanon Valley, Hershey and central Pennsylvania. Business visitors can reach Harrisburg International Airport, about 33 miles away, while leisure travelers can explore historic sites, markets and nearby attractions.
