:''Not to be confused with the neighboring summit communities of Beartown, Blue Ridge Summit, Buena Vista Springs, Highfield or Cascade, Pen Mar, or Pennersville'' Monterey, Pennsylvania, is an unincorporated community which was added to the USGS Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. After the site was surveyed for the never-completed Tapeworm Railroad, the summit community was settled on the Emmitsburg & Waynesboro Turnpike () east of the Nichol's Gap Road intersection near the Toll Gate and Brown's Spring and later bypassed by the 20th century Pennsylvania Route 16 highway. As with the Pen Mar Park to the south, Monterey was the site of numerous resort facilities such as the Clermont House,〔 1887 Monterey Hotel,() the Monterey House,() the Monterey Inn, the Monterey Academy,() and the Monterey Country Club. The community's post office established in the late 19th century was named Charmian (another PA post office already was named Monterey), and the Charmian station of the Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway was established after the Western Extension was laid in 1888-1889 (cf. (Monterey Station ) in 1872).〔 (Hotel. )〕 ==Civil War== As a mountain community near the intersection of the turnpike and the Nichol's Gap Road, the Monterey area was an 1863 American Civil War site through which both Federal and Confederate forces maneuvered during the Gettysburg Campaign〔 East Cemetery Hill Tablet 6 of 9 July 4, 1863 First and Second Brigade, First Cavalry Division marched from Westminster The Reserve Brigade First Cavalry Division from Gettysburg en route to Frederick Second Brigade Second Cavalry Division from Westminster via Emmitsburg to Monterey The Third Brigade Second Cavalry Division from Gettysburg to Hunterstown and the Third Cavalry Division from Gettysburg via Emmitsburg to Monterey Skirmishes at Fairfield Gap Pennsylvania and near Emmitsburg Md 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monterey, Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
