Tartown, formerly an unincorporated community, is now an extinct community that was located in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The remains of Tartown are located on property of the Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, Borough Authority [1] and in the adjacent Michaux State Forest in Hamiltonban Township.
The name of the former town reportedly originated from the local production of pine tar. Wagamansville was a variant name. [2] [3]
The locale has in part been inundated by the reservoir that was created by the construction of the Waynesboro Dam on the East Branch of the Antietam Creek. [4] [5]

Monterey, Pennsylvania, is an unincorporated community which was added to the USGS Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. After the site was surveyed c. 1839 for the never-completed Tapeworm Railroad, the summit community was settled on the Emmitsburg & Waynesboro Turnpike east of the Nichol's Gap Road intersection near the Toll Gate and Brown's Spring and later bypassed by the 20th century Pennsylvania Route 16 highway.
The Nichol's Gap Road was a central Pennsylvania highway established in the 18th century near Maryland, extending westward from the Black's Gap Road "just west of Little Conewago Creek" at the Crofs Keys stand of James Black. The road went past both the Rock Creek Church and the 1761 Samuel Gettys tavern where Gettysburg would be surveyed in 1786. The highway was built over South Mountain via Nichol's Gap and down the Devils Racecourse into the Cumberland Valley, allowing access to Hagerstown, Maryland. Called the "Hagerstown Road" during the Battle of Gettysburg, parts of the road are now designated (east-to-west): U.S. Route 30, Pennsylvania Route 116, Iron Springs Road, Gum Springs Road, and Old Route 16.
