Bern Township
The rolling hills of Berks County define the setting of Bern Township — working fields, woodlots and dispersed settlement give this part of southeastern Pennsylvania its open rural character. US Route 222 is a principal north–south corridor through the township, while PA 183 links the area with Bernville and communities to the south. Their junction concentrates traffic beside land that remains strongly agricultural. Established in 1738 and named for Bern, Switzerland, the township belongs to Pennsylvania Dutch country, where German-speaking settlers left a lasting imprint on farming traditions and local place names. Reading lies to the south, placing Bern Township between the city’s wider transport network and the ridges of Berks County.

Developed around productive farmland in Berks County, Bern Township grew into a largely rural community on the northern side of the Reading area. Blue Mountain rises to the north, marking the edge of Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Ridge-and-Valley country, while the Schuylkill River runs nearby to the east. The township belongs to a region shaped by generations of Pennsylvania German settlement, a heritage still reflected in the area’s agricultural character and local place names. Its roads connect open fields, wooded slopes and small residential clusters rather than a single town centre.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
