GETTYSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – Gettysburg has a rich history not just in Pennsylvania but in the United States as well.
Gettysburg was founded in 1786, was named after Samuel Gettys, and was a pivotal part of the United States Civil War.
Most Americans know Gettysburg due to the Battle of Gettysburg which was from July 1 through July 3, 1863.
The battle featured Union Commander George G. Meade and Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee.
This was a turning point in the war as the Confederates pushed towards the north in an attempt to claim victory but were halted in Gettysburg.
The battle had around 160,000 troops present, claimed around 50,000 lives, was the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War, and resulted in a Union victory.
Now Gettysburg is home to around 7,392 residents, Gettysburg College, restaurants, and many historic places for tourists/visitors to visit.
