Mount Joy, PA History
Founded in 1721 by Scots-Irish immigrants, Mount Joy was named after an English military man named Lord Mount Joy who was sent by Queen Elizabeth I to subdue the Irish Chieftains in the 16th century. The town began as one of three villages clustered together. It was a stopping point for those traveling along the western frontier. There were taverns, blacksmith shops, and wagon makers. As time went on Mount Joy became more of an agricultural society because of its vast amount of fertile land.
Much of the original architecture designed before 1939 has survived. In 2002 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania designated the borough as a Main Street Community. This allows visitors the opportunity to step back in time while enjoying exciting community events, activities, and attractions.

A brewery boom followed and German immigrant, Alois Bube, began to work in beer making and eventually bought a small brewery in Mount Joy and later added a Victorian hotel. Bube’s brewery is one of the few lager breweries still standing and is undergoing restoration. A great place to dine, the brewery offers several well-appointed dining experiences, including service in the stone-walled catacombs, 43 feet below the street. Some of the other dining out choices are: The Country Table Restaurant, Mosby’s Pub, Higher Grounds Café, and Beanies Bar and Grill.
