Was the Gettysburg Address written in Gettysburg?

Answer 1

Supposedly the speech was written on the train Mr. Lincoln was riding to the dedication ceremony where he delivered it. That would have been November, 1863.
Contrary to the myth that Lincoln wrote this on the back of an envelope on November 18, 1863 while on the train traveling to Gettysburg, the speech was actually first written while he was still in Washington prior to leaving on the train. He put the finishing touches on the speech the night before while spending the night in his host's house.

Answer 2

Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address in Washington, and revised it during his ride by train to Gettysburg, which is about 90 miles (140 kilometers) due north of Washington DC. He stayed overnight at the home of the dedication's organizer, David Wills, and made changes to the text there, as well.

Answer 3

No, it was named that because it was dedicated to the soldiers in the national cemetery at Gettysburg in Pennsylvanian
