Camp Hill, PA Facts.

Camp Hill was settled 1885 (settled 1735), with a population of 8,130 (2020 census). It borders Lemoyne to the east, Lower Allen Township to the south, Hampden Township to the west, East Pennsboro Township to the north. The area's best-known landmark is The Camp Hill Historic District (National Register of Historic Places).

Camp Hill was settled in 1735 and incorporated as a borough in 1885, sitting just across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, the state capital, close enough that the daytime population swells by nearly 20 percent from commuters and workers. The Camp Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, anchors the borough's older housing stock, much of it built well before modern plumbing codes existed. The borough shares a real piece of Civil War history with neighboring Hampden Township. The actual Skirmish of Sporting Hill, fought June 29 to 30, 1863, took place on Camp Hill's western edge as Union militia turned back a Confederate cavalry raid headed for Harrisburg. It was the northernmost engagement of the entire war. That combination of historic-district housing stock and clay or cast-iron infrastructure original to the borough's early-20th-century growth is what drives the sewer and drain calls that come up more often here than in Camp Hill's newer-construction neighbors.

Camp Hill School District, at just 2 square miles, is the smallest school district in Cumberland County and one of the smallest in the state. It is small enough that it runs no bus service and expects most students to walk, a detail that says something about how tightly built the borough's older residential blocks really are, and how close together the original supply and drain lines tend to run.

In the historic district specifically, a camera inspection of the sewer lateral before any major renovation is worth the small upfront cost. Original clay and cast-iron lines rarely show symptoms until they fail outright, often mid-project, right when it is most disruptive and expensive to address. A backup that has already reached the house may also need cleanup and drying alongside the line repair.
