History
Terre Hill was formerly known as "Fairville". It was incorporated as a borough in 1907 after a successful court battle to separate from East Earl Township.
The borough was once considered to be the hub of cigar-making in Lancaster County. One of its most recognizable landmarks is the 19th-century clock at the borough hall.
Terre Hill has the second fewest residents of any incorporated borough in Lancaster County, with the exception of Christiana. Terre Hill has no traffic lights.
The first four-way stop in Terre Hill was created at the intersection of East Main Street and Earle Street in spring 2023. To create the four-way stop, two stop signs were added to East Main Street at the approaches to the already installed stop signs at Earle Street. The four-way stop was initially created with temporary stop signs during the closure of a section of PA Route 625 for underground pipe work. Shortly thereafter, the stop signs were made permanent.
