Understand
Founded in 1754 as Cross Keys, Intercourse (pop. 1,500 in 2020) is one of several small villages with unusual names in the heart of Pennsylvania's Amish country. Other charmingly-named local Pennsylvania Dutch villages include Blue Ball, Gap, Fertility, Mount Joy, Lititz, Bareville, Bird-in-Hand, and Paradise.

As Amish villages are only about from Wilmington (Delaware) and  from Philadelphia, these tiny communities are flooded with thousands of visitors.
