Historical Setting for an Important Effort

"LITTLESTOWN - was laid out by Peter Klein in 1765, making it one of the oldest towns in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania. Peter Klein had been granted a patent in 1760 for 311 acres which he systematically arranged into the original 84 lots. Each lot sold for three pounds with provision that the buyer pay an annual ground rent of seven shillings, sixpence ($1.00). For at least 50 years, Littlestown was known as "Kleina Stedtle" (in English "Little's Town")."
