Upper Providence Township

Built around early farming settlements along Perkiomen Creek, Upper Providence Township, Pennsylvania, grew into a suburban municipality in Montgomery County. The township occupies part of the Perkiomen Valley, where the creek joins the Schuylkill River near Oaks, placing it within the Philadelphia region while retaining parkland and trail corridors. The Perkiomen Trail follows the creek on a former railroad alignment. Oaks is also home to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, a major venue for public shows and conventions. Collegeville borders the township to the north and is home to Ursinus College, founded in 1869.
