Royersford Borough was incorporated in 1879 and took its land from Limerick Township. While originally a center for the area farming community, the borough grew into a small iron and manufacturing center. Also, the coming of the railroads meant goods produced here could find new markets. Today, the borough has become a very attractive bedroom community given its location at an interchange of the 422 Expressway. Royersford has a main street shopping area, as well as many small businesses and neighborhood shopping centers that serve residents in portions of the surrounding townships of Limerick and Upper Providence. Royersford also has a strong tie to the small Borough of Spring City, located on the other side of the Schuylkill River in Chester County. It should be noted that many homes and businesses with a Royersford mailing address may actually be located in Limerick or Upper Providence Townships. PUBLIC SERVICES: The entire borough is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the community. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is provided by the borough. RECREATION: Facilities include a local park with playground equipment and other school district sites. Little League Programs are run by various local people who are associated with the borough. For more information on what is available, please call 610-948-3737. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: A SEPTA bus line connects the borough with Phoenixville and Spring City Boroughs in Chester County. The Norristown Transportation Center can also be reached via these routes. SHOPPING: An active main street shopping area is easily accessible. A neighborhood shopping center sits on the boundary of the borough and Limerick Township. The nearest major shopping malls are the Court and Plaza at King of Prussia and the Coventry Mall in Chester County.
