Springfield Township

Few communities in northwestern Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to Lake Erie’s southern shore as Springfield Township. Set near the Ohio line in Erie County, this largely rural township is part of the narrow Pennsylvania strip that meets the Great Lakes. Lake Erie influences local weather and the character of its open farmland, woods and shoreline. Interstate 90 passes through the area, linking it with Erie and the wider Great Lakes corridor. Erie County’s name recalls the Erie people, whose homeland lay around the lake before European settlement.
