'''Lemoyne''' is a [[borough (Pennsylvania)|borough]] in [[Cumberland County, Pennsylvania|Cumberland County]], [[Pennsylvania]], United States, which lies across the [[Susquehanna River]] from [[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania|Harrisburg]], Pennsylvania's capital. It is part of the [[Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area]]. Lemoyne was incorporated as a borough on May 23, 1905. As of the 2020 census, the borough population was 4,659.<ref name="USCensusDecennial2020CenPopScriptOnly"/> Lemoyne is served by [[Interstate 83]] and U.S. Routes [[U.S. Route 11 in Pennsylvania|11]]/[[U.S. Route 15 in Pennsylvania|15]]. Lemoyne is a part of the [[West Shore School District]].

==Name==
[[File:Lemoyne, PA Keystone Marker.jpg|thumb|[[Keystone Markers|Keystone Marker]]]]
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.
