History of Cly
Early Travel and Trade
Cly was once a very important stop on a stagecoach route. This route connected the cities of York and Harrisburg. Stagecoaches were like public buses of the past, carrying people and mail.
Changes in Transportation
In the 1830s, things started to change for Cly. A new Codorus Canal was built, reaching into York. Canals allowed boats to transport goods more easily. Also around this time, a railroad was built through Cly. This railroad is still used today, but it only carries cargo. The Norfolk Southern company operates it.
Community Life and Baseball
For many years, Cly was home to a minor league baseball team called the Cly Bulldogs. They were a popular local team. After the Bulldogs, an All-star team called the Cly Mudcats played there for a couple of years. The baseball field was once owned by a local school district.
New Homes and Discoveries
In the late 1990s, a developer bought land near the Cly Ball Field. They built a new neighborhood called Riverside Village. During the construction, workers found an ancient Native American burial ground. Building work stopped for over a year while experts carefully studied the site.
