In 1813, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania was founded from parts of Dauphin and Lancaster counties. The new county did not yet have an official courthouse, so the county commissioners rented the Stoy House at 924 Cumberland Street to conduct court sessions. James Buchanan, who would become the 15th president of the United States, was one of the first lawyers to practice law in Lebanon County (from 1813 to 1817). A new official Lebanon County courthouse was built starting in 1817 and finished in 1818. It was located on the northwest corner of 8th and Cumberland Streets. As the county grew two annexes were added, in 1854 and 1887.
