Main Tag:
Description: Intercourse, Pennsylvania was founded in 1754 as "Cross Keys," after the sole business in the area, a local tavern. Intercourse became the name in 1814, though the origins of the suggestive name remain somewhat of a mystery. Today, Intercourse is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, 10 miles east of Lancaster on Pennsylvania Route 340. With a population of just under 1,500, Intercourse is a popular stop for tourists because of its location in Amish country and thanks to its unusual name, signs for the town are frequently targeted by thieves.
