Lurgan Township

Built around the headwaters of Conococheague Creek, Lurgan Township developed into a rural community in northern Franklin County. The creek flows south through Pennsylvania and Maryland before reaching the Potomac River, linking this quiet inland area to the Chesapeake watershed. Farmland and woodland reflect the broader Ridge-and-Valley Appalachian setting. The township’s name recalls Lurgan in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, a trace of the region’s Ulster-Scots heritage.
