History:
The region around Antietam Creek had been home to Native Americans for thousands of years prior to settlement by Anglo-Europeans in the mid-18th century. Beginning in 1751 a certain John Wallace obtained several warrants for the land on which the center of the town now stands. In 1797 John Wallace, a son of the original British settler, laid out the town of Waynesburg in what was then the state of Pennsylvania in the United States. When incorporated in 1831, the borough was given the name "Waynesboro'." It is one of several dozen towns, cities, and counties named after General Anthony Wayne, a hero of the American Revolutionary War.
During the American Civil War, Waynesboro played a part in the Gettysburg Campaign in June and July 1863. In the week before the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederate Major General Jubal Early's division of Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell's corps of the Army of Northern Virginia passed through the community on its way northward. After the battle, General Robert E. Lee rode through the border community with his retreating forces. In 1963, a book, Fifteen Days under the Confederate Flag, told of their two-week occupation. Waynesboro During the Civil War (2011) recounts the experiences of Waynesboro's residents during the war.
Numerous stone grain mills are in the area Welty's Mill, Shank's Mill, Hopewell Roller Mill and others. Most of them still standing and in use.
By the early years of the 20th century, Waynesboro had become a very industrial town. It was known for the manufacture of engines, boilers, grinders, threshers, boring machines, bolt cutters, wood and iron workers' vises, nut facers, etc. There were also foundries and machine shops, and manufactures of lumber products. Some local manufacturing companies included Frick Company, Geiser Manufacturing, Waynesboro Knitting Mill, Connie's Sportwear, Freeman's Shoes, Landis Machine Company and Landis Tool Company. In 1900, 5,396 people lived in the town; in 1910, 7,199 people; and in 1940 10,231 (more than in 2000).
With industrial restructuring, companies were being bought by larger foreign or domestic companies who didn't have the local employees interests in mind, costing the town many jobs, the town population declined through the 1960's and people were drawn to larger cities for work. From 2000 to 2010, there was an increase in population due to people having second homes, retiring in the area and an influx of people looking for more economical housing from the cities. This they could do because the borough is around an hour drive from Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and their associated airports.
