[I]n 1751 the Proprietary
town of Carlisle was laid out, ranking as such with
Philadelphia, York, Easton, and Reading. It was well
planned, with the two principal streets, Hanover and High,
each 80 feet wide and all others 60 feet in width. Each lot
was 60 feet by 240 feet in size. The town, which was
rectangular in shape, extended two blocks in each direction
from the Square, each farthest street named for its
direction by the compass, North, East, South and West. For a
time West Street was known as Allen in honor of the
representative in the Supreme Council, while East Street was
originally called Howe Street, after the English general, or
Water Street because of its proximity to the LeTort. The
present Hanover Street was first called York, since it led
to the neighboring county town of that name. Bedford,
Louther, and High Streets were reminiscent of the English
namesake Carlisle, while Pitt Street bore the name of the
younger Pitt, friend of the early colonists. Pomfret Street
was so named for the father-in-law of Thomas Penn, the first
Earl of Pomfret, whose daughter was Lady Julian Fermore. The
first lots were sold for a nominal sum of money. A ticket
was given to the owner obligating the purchaser to "improve
his land" by some building (usually 20 feet square, of
stone, brick or square timber) within a period of two to
five years or surrender his right to the lot purchased.
