  • New Wilmington is a borough in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States, first platted in 1824 and established as a borough on April 9, 1863. The population was 2,466 at the 2010 census.[5] It is home to Westminster College and serves the Old Order Amish community in the surrounding Wilmington Township.
    The town of New Wilmington was established in 1797-1798. In 1824 the first house was built and other buildings were soon erected. In 1847 an Amish settlement was established between New Wilmington and Volant.[10] On April 4, 1863, New Wilmington was established as a half-Borough, and on April 9, 1873, it was made a full Borough. The population in 1874 was 500. As of the 2000 census, the population has grown to 2,452, which includes 1,315 residents and 1,137 college students.
    A book on the complete history of New Wilmington was penned in 1999, which may be viewed at the Westminster College Library. The book includes 12 chapters of history, starting in 1797 and has over 100 photographs.
