They had a hard time thinking of a new name, though finally John Jamison, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens, proposed that it be called Little Britain Township in memory of most of the settlers' mother country.

It includes the unincorporated communities of Little Britain, Kings Bridge, Fairmount, White Rock, Oak Shade, Tayloria, Pine Grove, Oak Hill, Oakryn, Summerhill, Kirks Bridge, Kirks Mills, Eastland, and part of Wrightsdale.

13.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 4.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

As of the 2024 election, no Democratic Party nominee for president has ever won Little Britain, dating back to Andrew Jackson's second campaign, in 1828.

Six of the seven Whig tickets carried the town as well, with that party not being put on the ballot in Pennsylvania in 1832.

The Anti-Masonic party nominee William Wirt won the township in that election.

In 1856, Lancaster native James Buchanan was the Democratic nominee and received 39.94% of the vote.
