 Horsham Township, incorporated in 1717, is one of the oldest original municipalities in Montgomery County. The township contains two major drainage basins which are part of the Delaware River System. These basins determine where the township’s open space and conservation areas are located. Today, the township is home to office complexes and corporate centers, as well as quality residential neighborhoods. Plenty of community-oriented shopping facilities are located in the township. The township also hosts a number of quality golf courses. It should be noted that some businesses and homes can be located in Horsham Township, but have a Hatboro or other nearby mailing address.
PUBLIC SERVICES: The east and central portions of the township, which contain many large office buildings, are serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A municipal sewage treatment plant is expected to expand and double its capacity. A full-time police force serves the township. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors.
RECREATION: A township Parks Commission and a part-time director assist in running various programs. Little League programs are run by a private organization. For more information on what is available, please call 215-643-3131.
