It is next to the Maryland state line along Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 between Hagerstown, Maryland, and Greencastle. As of the 2020 census the population was 2,804.[2]

State Line was originally called Middleburg, and under the latter name laid out in 1812, and named for its location between Greencastle and Hagerstown, Maryland.[3] The present name comes from the fact that the community is located on the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line.[3] A post office called State Line was established in 1830.[4]
