Cumberland County cannot tell its story and share its sense of place without talking about the formative role we have always played in our country's most defining moments. From our original settlement in 1739 by Scottish immigrants through the deployment of troops to Afghanistan and Iraq today, it is here the very seeds of American freedom, democracy and patriotism were planted and continue to grow. That is why we’ve adopted themes of patriotism in our marketing efforts - themes that run deep in our cultural heritage product, which you can learn about below. Click here to see some of the examples of what patriotism means to our residents - feel free to take your turn letting us know about your own patriotic thoughts.
