The location of Gettysburg was important in the Battle Of Gettysburg because of where the town is located and the hills and ridges on the battlefield. If you ever saw a map of Gettysburg, or gone on Google Earth, you would see the town and then a bunch of roads leading in and out of the town. So basically if you wanted to come from Virginia to Pennsylvania, most likely you would have to come through Gettysburg.
The hills and ridges on the Battlefield is important too. Throughout the battle, Union troops were placed on the top of the hills and ridges. It's a whole lot easier running down a hill, then running up a hill. So when your being fired at, you would muchly rather be on higher elevation than running up. This really came in handy on the second day of the battle at Little Round Top. Where the 20th Maine had to defend Little Round Top, where there was a bayonet charge. And like I said, it's much easier running down a hill with bayonets then running up a hill.
It had strategic importance as a railway junction.
They were both fought on union territory and both times the union drove the confederates back south.
It was a railroad junction. Control of Gettysburg meant one could go in any direction by rail.
Several months earlier, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War occurred there.
It was on Union ground.
