Dickinson Township

Dickinson Township has served as an agricultural township in Pennsylvania’s Cumberland Valley since its establishment in 1785. Between open farmland and the wooded slopes of South Mountain, it occupies the transition from the broad valley to the Appalachian uplands. The township is named for John Dickinson, the Pennsylvania statesman associated with the American Revolution and author of Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania. Its dispersed farms, homes and small settlements reflect Cumberland County’s rural character, while the Appalachian Trail corridor and Pine Grove Furnace State Park lie nearby.
