A photograph from around 1900 of the electric power plant of Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
The Millersburg Electric Light, Heat and Power Company was established in 1891. By 1892, the company was authorized to erect poles in the streets and alleys of the borough. At the same time, it was required to provide free service for the Borough Council Chamber, the music pavilion, and the Hook and Ladder House.
