Experienced Accountants Serve Businesses and Individuals Throughout Dauphin County

Personalized service focused on your needs in Harrisburg, Hershey and Colonial Park

Formed on March 4, 1785 from part of Lancaster County, Dauphin County was named after the traditional title of the Prince of France. The Pennsylvania legislature, meeting in Philadelphia in 1785, voted for the name as a gesture of thanks to France for helping the United States win independence from Great Britain. However, the creation of the county actually preceded that of the prince, who was born more than three weeks later, on March 27. Unfortunately, due to the revolution that soon shattered the French monarchy, the Dauphin’s life would be short and unpleasant. His father, King Louis XVI was executed on January 21, 1793 and his mother, Queen Marie Antoinette, suffered the same fate on October 16. Royalists recognized the eight-year-old Dauphin as King Louis XVII, but could not provide much practical assistance. The boy, who had always been sickly, died at the age of 10 of tuberculosis exacerbated by harsh prison conditions.

Today, Dauphin County is home to numerous vibrant communities, including Harrisburg, the commonwealth’s capital and tenth largest city. More than a quarter of a million Dauphin County residents are engaged in various industries, including state government, healthcare, technology, manufacturing and education.
