Township (Pennsylvania)
Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOW : Township (Pennsylvania)
In Pennsylvania, a township is a unit of local government (see civil township) subordinate to a county, and distinct from cities and boroughs. Townships were established based on convenient geographical boundaries and vary in size from six to forty square miles (10–74 km²).
Unlike other states, Pennsylvania has only one incorporated town, Bloomsburg, the county seat of Columbia County. All other municipalities are incorporated as cities, boroughs or townships. It is technically incorrect to refer to any municipality in Pennsylvania other than Bloomsburg as a town.
