Little Hope, Pennsylvania facts for kids

Little Hope is a small, quiet place located in Erie County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own separate local government, like a city or a town would. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger Erie County.

History of Little Hope

The exact reason why this community was named "Little Hope" is not fully known today. It's a bit of a mystery! For a while, the area was also known by another name: "Greenfield."

A post office is a place where people send and receive letters and packages. A post office called Greenfield was opened in Little Hope way back in 1822. This was an important place for the community because it helped people stay in touch with friends and family far away. The Greenfield post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1905.
