Message from the Mayor
Welcome to the City of Sunbury – CITY OF OPPORTUNITY!
Sunbury has a unique history dating back to 1724 as the most western settlement in Pennsylvania. Ft. Augusta, built in 1756, was the stronghold in the Susquehanna Valley providing protection for early settlers. Sunbury was founded in 1772, four years prior to our nation’s independence. Magnificent historical buildings, dating back as far as the 18th century, still maintain their significant architectural facades.
A family oriented community, we offer an outstanding community hospital, school district, new modern library, YMCA and recreational facilities second to none, that includes a community pool, skate park, first class ice skating rink, lighted ball fields and neighborhood parks and playgrounds. Outdoor sports abound with hunting, fishing and boating, to name a few. Communications are delivered by a locally established newspaper and radio stations as well as downtown wireless internet access.
A new water and sewer system support our municipal services along with our own 24 hour, 7 day a week police force. Fire protection is made up of six volunteer fire companies. There are two outstanding universities 20 minutes away in addition to an LPN school, business school and trade school in City limits. A well-known major tertiary medical care center is located within 12 miles of Sunbury.
All this along with a major food chain corporate headquarters and other well established, stable industries and a labor force to meet additional employer needs.
A river community situated by the beautiful Susquehanna River, the City of Sunbury stands ready to help with its potential for water recreation, retail and real estate opportunities seldom seen today.
