Hellam Township lies along the Susquehanna River in southeastern Pennsylvania, where rolling York County farmland descends toward the broad river valley. This largely rural municipality sits east of York, in a landscape of working farms, wooded creeks and dispersed hamlets rather than a single urban centre. The riverfront borough of Wrightsville recalls the Civil War: on 28 June 1863, Union militia burned the covered Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge to block a Confederate crossing during the Gettysburg Campaign. Local roads also place the township within the long-settled agricultural country of south-central Pennsylvania.
