There is a town in Cecil County they call the Rising Sun

Historic Peaceful Idyllic Close-Knit Scenic Charming

Rising Sun is a historic small town situated about midway between Baltimore and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rising Sun’s Main Street is its primary thoroughfare, offering a slew of independent eateries, shops, and specialty stores in well-preserved buildings. The Rising Sun Town Center is also located off of Main Street, where locals can enjoy a suburban-style shopping and dining experience close to home.

Outside of Main Street, Rising Sun is largely residential, boasting a broad range of apartments available for rent in a scenic locale. The community is just a short drive away from area attractions like Plumpton Park Zoo, Calvert Regional Park, and Cecil County Dragway. Although Rising Sun residents love the community’s small-town feel, the big-city delights of Baltimore and Philadelphia are each within an hour’s driving distance.
