Lucknow, Pennsylvania
Lucknow is an unincorporated community and neighborhood in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, United States, in the Harrisburg-Carlisle area. Geography
Lucknow is roughly bounded to the north by Rockville and Blue Ridge Road in upper Susquehanna Township; south to Lucknow Road, west to Front Street, and east to the Harrisburg Intermodal Yard. Linglestown Road passes through the heart of the community. History
The area was named after Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India where the Indian Rebellion of 1857 took place between Indian freedom fighters and the East India Company army. Lucknow takes the name of "Sepoy" which refers to the Indian foot soldiers who fought on the British side in the Relief of Lucknow. John W. Reily (of soon-to-be prominent Reily family) worked in the iron industry and built and operated the Lucknow Forge for approximately 35 years. The housing stock of rowhouses along Lucknow Road were first built as company homes for those working at the Lucknow Forge. Late in the 19th Century, Reily moved to work on a dairy farm at Fort Hunter and sold the forge to the Pennsylvania Railroad as the site of a rail welding plant next for their expanding rail yard. This new rail yard was known as the Lucknow Yard, though presently remains as the Harrisburg Intermodal Yard. The Pennsylvania Railroad would also operate a passenger station at Lucknow, approximately 4 miles north of Harrisburg. References
