Hopewell Township

Few townships in Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to the Mason–Dixon Line, the surveyed boundary with Maryland, as Hopewell Township. In southern York County, its rolling farmland and wooded stream valleys belong to the Piedmont landscape west of the Susquehanna River. This is a rural borderland shaped by farms and small crossroads communities rather than urban development. The line, surveyed in the 1760s to resolve the colonial boundary dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland, remains the area’s defining historical reference.
