Hershey... Where It’s Just Sweeter

We can’t think of a better place to call home.

Best known for world famous HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate, Hershey thrives today on what began as a vision of Milton S. Hershey to build a model town to meet the basic, recreational, and cultural needs of the factory workers. His values live on and are embraced by the elected officials, residents and business owners of this great community. There is a pride that comes with saying, “I live in Hershey.”

For those who prefer suburban living, yet yearn for the sophistication of a metropolitan setting, we offer the best of both worlds.

Hershey, with its Kiss light lined streets and sweet aroma of chocolate, is a safe, clean, affordable location to raise a family, with an outstanding, award-winning school district, world class health care at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center and College of Medicine, state and nationally accredited police department, eight community parks, a recreation center and swimming pool, an 11-mile bike and pedestrian trail and it's own state-of-the art library.

Fans of the theatre find Broadway shows downtown at the Hershey Theatre and for those who want to be in the show, there is the Hershey Area Playhouse, the Hershey Symphony, and the Hershey Chorus. Many talented artists perform at the GIANT Center, and guests are entertained at Hersheypark, Zoo America, Hershey Chocolate World, Hershey Gardens, and the Hershey Museum. And let's not forget about the Hershey Bears Hockey Team!

For those who enjoy fine dining, experience gourmet cuisine at the renowned Hotel Hershey or relax and rejuvenate after shopping at the Hershey Outlets at the Chocolate Spa.

Whether you are a resident or a visitor, we want you to enjoy the many amenities of Derry Township. It is our goal to provide top-notch community service and to be conscientious of the needs of our public.
