Editing Orrtanna, Pennsylvania (section)

==History==
Orrtanna was established in 1885 around Orr Station, a stop on the [[Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway]].<ref name="Bloom1992">{{cite book|last1=Bloom|first1=Robert|title=A History of Adams County, Pennsylvania, 1700-1990|date=1992|publisher=Adams County Historical Society}}</ref> It originally was known as Wortzville after George Wortz, a local businessman, but was changed to Orr Station and then Orr Glen. The establishment of the post office in 1892 lead to the realization that Orr Glen was already a registered town name in [[Pennsylvania]], so the name finally became Orrtanna in 1892, for Isaiah Orr, a large property owner in the area, and a nearby tannery.<ref name="GTimes85">{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Orrtanna: It was first known as Wortzville|url=https://gettysburg.newspaperarchive.com/gettysburg-times/1985-01-07/page-13?tag=wortzville&rtserp=tags/wortzville?pt=8598&ndt=ex&pd=7&py=1985&pm=1 |work=The Gettysburg Times |date=1985-01-07 }}</ref>
