Harleysville is part of Lower Salford Township which was established in 1741 when Salford Township was divided into the present day townships of Marlborough, Lower Salford and Upper Salford.
Large farms, mills and churches were the only types of buildings scattered across the township. This exclusively rural way of life lasted well into the twentieth century. However, it was during the past fifteen years that the township started to see an increase in residential and small commercial developments. Even as the township continues to grow in the coming years, many hope it will still retain much of its rural characteristics.
Communities within the township include Harleysville, Lederach, Mainland, and Vernfield.
Towamencin Township was settled in the 1690s and was officially established in 1728. The village of Kulpsville, which takes its name from Jacob Kulp, an early landowner, has always been the center of activities for the township.
In 1955, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension interchange at Kulpsville was opened. This would set the stage for future development. Over the past decade, the township, especially in the Kulpsville area, has experienced significant development.This Web Site Courtesy Of:
