Except Philadelphia, i no other city in the state is so rich in historic interest. Tradition says that an Indian vil- lage occupied the site of the center of Lancaster; that a hickory I tree stood is the center of the vil- lage, near a spring; that the Indian councils were held under this tree, I and that it was from one of these I councils that a deputation was soon sent to confer with William Penn in This Indian nation was called Hickory and the village Hickory Towr i before Lancaster was laid out.
