Enola's roots hail back to the expansion of railroad transportation, and rail lines still run through the heart of town. Enola is named after the four-year old daughter a local farmer, Wesley Miller, who sold land to the Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1800's. Today, it is still a postcard of small-town Pennsylvania, complete with a Shady Lane and an historic one-room schoolhouse.
