Brothersvalley Township

Few townships in southwestern Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to German-speaking settlement and farming as Brothersvalley Township. Created in 1798 in Somerset County, it remains a largely rural community of fields, woodland and dispersed homes on the Allegheny Plateau. Its name and settlement pattern reflect the Pennsylvania German presence that shaped this part of the state, while nearby Berlin provides a small-town commercial centre for the surrounding countryside. Roads across the uplands link farms and hamlets rather than a single urban core.
