Two miles north of the Mason-Dixon line, Waynesboro is located in the southern part of Franklin County, Pennsylvania. John Wallace, a Scotsman, began the community around 1749 when he settled by a spring located a few hundred yards west of the Antietam Creek.

John decided to layout a town and placed 90 lots on the market in 1797. The town was named Waynesburg, after his commanding officer, General Anthony Wayne, in the war. In 1831, when the federal government ruled that the names of post offices in any one state could not be duplicated, the town was re-chartered and took the name Waynesboro as its corporate title.

George Frick laid the foundation of Waynesboro’s industrial activity. Frick invented a steam engine small enough for farm use, which replaced the cumbersome horse powers. The Frick Company was founded in 1873. The company switched to making refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. They are now part of Johnson Controls, still a leading employer in the Waynesboro area.
