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.[2] The present name comes from the fact the community is located on the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line.[2] A post office called State Line was established in 1830.[3]
