How Roundtown and Emigsville got their names
Roundtown got its name from its shape. A History of York County printed in 1886 called it a hamlet of twenty or more houses on the York and Lewisberry road. The houses were built nearly in a circle, and that's where the name came from. A brick schoolhouse went up there in 1884. Frederick and Peter Kern were among the first to own the land.
The same book says Emigsville was named for John Emig. He ran a store there for many years and farmed too. The railroad was finished in 1850, and after that the village became a busy stop for the farms around it. Lime was burned from the limestone nearby. The 1886 county history counted 125 people in Emigsville and said E. K. Emig & Co. made farm tools. North of Church Road, a state marker at 3300 Board Road honors Bob Hoffman, founder of the York Barbell Club. It calls him the "Father of World Weightlifting."
