Meyersdale continues to celebrate its rich history and small town charm. Named for early settler Peter Meyers, "The Maple City" became a bustling transportation hub. As industry faded, Meyersdale adapted. This former railroad town became a trail town along the Great Allegheny Passage, which greets bicyclists from around the world. The Pennsylvania Maple Festival welcomes thousands of visitors each spring. Somerset County produces the most maple syrup in Pennsylvania.
