Lawrence County, Pennsylvania

Lawrence County is in western Pennsylvania, right on the Ohio border. New Castle is the biggest town. They call it the “Fireworks Capital of America”. No joke. This place knows how to party.
But it’s not all explosions and noise. The countryside’s pretty peaceful, with lots of parks and trails. Amish folks live here too. McConnells Mill State Park is a local favorite. Think gorges, waterfalls, and great hiking.
The county has some solid manufacturing roots. But these days, small businesses are popping up left and right. Lawrence County has a solid mix of industrial heritage, natural beauty, and small-town appeal.
