Dillerville or Dillersville is an extinct hamlet in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. Dillerville was established between the Harrisburg and Manheim pikes, at the intersection of the Lancaster and Reading railroads.〔(Manheim Township Comprehensive Plan )〕 It is sometimes called Dillerville, and sometimes called Dillersville. The USPS database uses the singular spelling for Dillerville Road, as does Mapquest's database. Searching on Google shows the singular spelling to be about six times as popular. The Dillerville name lives on in the Conrail maintenance yard in Lancaster, a wetlands known as the Dillerville swamp, and in Dillerville Road. According to an 1855 publication, the Pennsylvania Railroad, double-tracked, runs east from Dillerville to Philadelphia and west to Columbia; at Dillerville, there is a junction with the ''Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy and Lancaster Railroad'', which extends to Harrisburg.〔(Guide for the Pennsylvania Railroad )〕 An 1864 atlas of Lancaster County shows six property owners in Dillerville: Benjamin Herr, Henry Huber, Hy Holl, Patrick McLaughlin, Samuel Ruth, and Emil Shober.〔(1864 Atlas )〕 Lue E.
