Limerick Township, one of the oldest townships in Pennsylvania, was settled early in the eighteenth century by people of Germanic and Holland Dutch descent. The township encompasses 22.39 square miles and its area has not changed since the incorporation of the Borough of Royersford in 1879. Today, Limerick is seen as one of the hottest development areas in the county. The much-acclaimed 422 Expressway runs through the heart of the township and is assisting in the attractiveness of the area for development. The township hosts some golf courses, a nuclear generating station, an airport, as well as quality residential areas and open space. It should be noted that the zip code for Royersford is also used for portions of Limerick Township, including the Linfield section. PUBLIC SERVICES: Currently, the central and southern portions of the township, including the village of Linfield, are serviced by public water and sewer lines. A full-time police force serves the township. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. RECREATION: Facilities include the Manderach Memorial Park and the Limerick Township Municipal Park with a softball field and pavilion. Little League programs are run by private organizations in neighboring communities. For more information on what is available, please call 610-495-6432. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: One SEPTA bus route runs through the center of the township along Ridge Pike (old Route 422), allowing access to points between Pottstown and Norristown. SHOPPING: Many specialty shops and businesses are located throughout the township. A neighborhood shopping center rests on the border with Royersford Borough. As the township continues to grow, other community style shopping centers are proposed or under construction. The nearest major shopping malls are the Court and Plaza at King of Prussia and the Coventry Mall in Chester County.
