At Home In Lansdale

Lansdale Borough was incorporated on August 24, 1872, and was named after Philip Lansdale Fox, chief surveyor for the North Pennsylvania Railroad. The borough originally consisted of 124 acres taken from Hatfield Township and 145 acres taken from Gwynedd Township. Over the years, the borough grew to its present size of 1,896 acres. The railroads aided in the development of the borough as a business, residential and transportation center.

Today, Lansdale is considered the geographic center of the North Penn Region and provides jobs and housing opportunities for many. Small businesses and shops are very active as the borough continues to promote its downtown district. It should be noted that many businesses and residents have a Lansdale mailing address but are actually located in the surrounding Townships of Upper Gwynedd, Towamencin, Montgomery and Hatfield.
