Springfield Township was established in 1703 and was settled primarily by English, Welsh, and German settlers. The earliest industries in the township were farming and milling. Farm products were taken into Philadelphia and sold. Many historic sites such as old mills and large homes have been well preserved as a reminder of the township’s long history. Today, Springfield Township is almost entirely residential, comprised of single family houses on lots of relatively moderate size. The township is considered a pleasant and historic place to live. Communities within the township include Erdenheim, Wyndmoor, Oreland, Enfield, and Flourtown.

The entire township is serviced by public water and sewer facilities with the exception of the extreme southern section. A full-time police force serves the township. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is provided by the township.

A part-time recreation director is employed by the township. Facilities include a park with a stocked pond for fishing, basketball and softball facilities. Little League programs are run by private organizations. For more information on what is available, please call 215-836-7600.

Several SEPTA bus routes and a rail line provide excellent access to Eastern Montgomery County, Lower Bucks County, and Philadelphia.
