History
Spry was originally named Intersville, in honor of the individual who purchased the land on which the town is now located. The name was changed to Spry for reasons that remain unclear. This quaint town is notable for its robust cigar production during the early 1900s. Most of Spry's homes were constructed between 1920 and 1960, predominantly featuring charming brick Cape Cods and ranch-style houses, alongside a smattering of newer constructions. The primary school district serving the area is Dallastown, with York Township Elementary being the sole school within Spry. This school was established between 1935 and 1945, replacing a former schoolhouse located near Spry Church, which was demolished around 1970 due to a decline in enrollment.
