Living in Harmony

Harmony is one of the oldest communities in western Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1804 by Johann Georg Rapp and the Harmony Society, a group of German religious settlers who built mills, workshops and vineyards here before moving west in 1814. Much of the town they built still stands, and the borough's historic district is a National Historic Landmark. Harmony is small, with 942 residents in the 2020 census, and sits next to Zelienople along Connoquenessing Creek.
