Following the 1724 stone house built by [[John Harris Sr.|John Harris]] and John Kelso, the emerging settlement was first named by [[Thomas Penn]] as the "Manor of Lowther" in 1750. Once the camelback bridge was completed in 1815, the town became "Bridgeport". In 1888, the name was then changed to "Riverton"; once the population of 800 was reached, which was needed to obtain a Post Office, it was denied out of possible confusion for [[Riverton, Virginia]]. Therefore, in 1905 it was finally renamed "Lemoyne", said to be in honor of [[Charles le Moyne]], a French soldier who supposedly settled near Harrisburg following an Ohio expedition.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Our History {{!}} Lemoyne PA|url=https://www.lemoynepa.com/about-us/pages/our-history|access-date=2021-06-07|website=www.lemoynepa.com}}</ref> Another possible theory was that it was named in honor of [[Francis Julius LeMoyne|Dr. Francis J.
