The general location was an early staging area for Native American tribes traversing the Susquehanna River from the settlements surrounding Conestoga and present day Manor Township. The "Harbor" is an inlet where the Conestoga River from the rest of Lancaster County meets up with the Susquehanna River proper and was known for its plentiful bounty of fish and wildlife that sustained the Conestoga Native Americans for centuries.

Safe Harbor and the nearby community of Conestoga were in the national media spotlight in 2001 when President George W. Bush held a photo opportunity at the Safe Harbor Dam power station.[1]

The Safe Harbor Park and the Safe Harbor Arboretum are also located within the tiny community.

gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.
gollark: Even if better services *do* exist, people generally don't move to something they don't have stuff/people they know on.
gollark: Generally it requires the existing service to be really bad before people start moving.
gollark: Yes, privacy-focused stuff often lacks features. But even if someone came up with "Facebook but significantly better somehow", network effects mean adoption would be very slow.
