Franconia Township

The landscape around Franconia Township is gently rolling farmland and low-density residential development in northern Montgomery County, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and local economy. The township lies within the Perkiomen Creek watershed; the creek joins the Schuylkill River, placing the area in the wider Delaware River drainage. Franconia’s name recalls the German region of Franconia, while the surrounding countryside is closely associated with Pennsylvania German and Mennonite settlement. Rather than an urban centre, it is a community of roads, farms, neighbourhoods and small local businesses.
