Dellville, Pennsylvania  Dellville is a village in Wheatfield Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania, United States. The settlement is located within the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area. Determining the ethnic population of Dellville is a challenge, as the area is not a census designated place. Additionally, there is widespread inaccuracy among the locals as to what specific ethnicity falling in the general class of caucasian they are. Most identify as either German, Irish, or Scots-Irish, while some simply identify as American. Despite these factors, sourcing historical documents and county data makes it clear (albeit with imperfect accuracy) that Dellville is predominantly German ethnically, though sizable Irish population exists as well. The original church in the area was a German Reformed Church plant. Perry County as a whole self-identifies as 45.2% German (43.3% "German" and 1.9% "Pennsylvania German", with the latter being Anabaptist people in other parts of the county), however, as Dellville has no major commerce area, there is a statistical likelihood of a higher German percentage of population. It is most famous as the site of the (arsoned) Dellville Covered Bridge, burnt in November 2014. The bridge was built either in 1810 or 1889, steel beams were added in the 1950s, and it was repaired in 1973 after Hurricane Agnes. In 2007, the Dellville Covered Bridge was barred from traffic, with a new bridge (made of concrete) receiving the redirected traffic. In March 2018, reconstruction began on the bridge. The covered bridge is nearly finished as of January 2019. There is one church in Dellville, presently a Methodist church, but there is some evidence to suggest that it was formerly a Lutheran church. The church was expanded from its original size, though the time of this is not known. A store, now not used as such, was built in 1855 and first kept by Adam Billow. A post office was established in 1860, and the first postmaster was Eli Young, who served 14 years. There is no longer a post office in Dellville. The mill was one of the main parts of the village, and had various owners from the time it was built in 1841. Dellville is one of many villages and towns in Perry County to have the Shermans Creek, which flows into the Susquehanna River in Duncannon, run through it. The Appalachian Trail runs through nearby, but is not easily accessible for another 7 miles.
