Lemoyne is a borough in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States, which lies across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's capital. It is part of the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area. Lemoyne was incorporated as a borough on May 23, 1905. As of the 2010 census, the borough population was 4,553.[4] Lemoyne is served by Interstate 83 and U.S. Routes 11/15. Lemoyne is a part of the West Shore School District.
Following the 1724 stone house built by John Harris and John Kelso, the emerging settlement was first named by Thomas Penn as the "Manor of Lowther" in 1750. Once the camelback bridge was completed in 1815, the town became "Bridgeport". In 1888, the name was then changed to "Riverton"; once the population of 800 was reached, which was needed to obtain a Post Office, it was denied out of possible confusion for Riverton, Virginia. Therefore, in 1905 it was finally renamed "Lemoyne", said to be in honor of Charles le Moyne, a French soldier who supposedly settled near Harrisburg following an Ohio expedition.[5] Another possible theory was that it was named in honor of Dr. Francis J. LeMoyne.[6]
