History
Camp Hill was previously referred to by several names, including Hendricks, Fort Pleasant, Oysters Point, Bowmanstown, and White Hall. The name "Camp Hill" is believed to have originated from a split in the congregation of the Peace Church, located west of the current borough. One faction of the church, led by John Winebrenner, began meeting outdoors on a hill, leading to the area being referred to as "Camp Hill." Dr. John D. Bowman, the first postmaster of the village, officially gave it the name Camp Hill in 1869.
Prior to the Civil War, the area was known locally as White Hill, and was a stop along the Cumberland Valley Railroad between Harrisburg and Carlisle. During the Civil War, the Battle of Sporting Hill became the northernmost engagement of the Gettysburg campaign, which took place at Camp Hill in late June 1863. Camp Hill was incorporated as a borough on November 10, 1885, from East Pennsboro Township. The Peace Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
