Shippensburg is home to the Beistle Company, which is the largest manufacturing company of party goods and decorations. More recently, it became home to the Construction Equipment division of Volvo, which invested $100 million in plant facilities. Locals, though, know it for both the college in town (Shippensburg State University), as well as the Community Fair held there since 1958.
Shippensburg is named after the college founded here in 1871. It's anchored by the State Capital of Harrisburg, which is 41 miles southwest. The town, which has around 5,586 residents, is located slightly north of I-81 and is split in half by State Route 11. Much of the town's housing was built prior to World War Two. However, finding the right rental apartment in Shippensburg should not prove difficult at all. View Shippensburg City Guide
