About location

Cumru Township sits in the Schuylkill River valley in southeastern Pennsylvania, where wooded ridges meet the built-up southern edge of Reading. This Berks County township combines residential districts and commercial corridors with broad areas of forest and rolling ground. US Route 222 and Interstate 176 run through the municipality, making it part of an important road connection between Reading and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Its name derives from Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales, recalling Welsh influence on settlement in this part of Pennsylvania. The township marks a transition from the Reading urban area to the wooded hills of the Schuylkill valley.

City Cumru Township

Cumru Township combines suburban development with open agricultural land in a way that reflects its position south of Reading in Berks County. The township lies within the Schuylkill River watershed, amid the rolling interior of southeastern Pennsylvania rather than the state’s larger urban corridors. Its roads and residential areas connect readily with Reading while retaining a distinctly local, semi-rural character. Berks County is strongly associated with Pennsylvania Dutch traditions, whose influence remains part of the region’s foodways, farming heritage, and identity. Cumru Township helps illustrate the gradual transition between Reading’s outskirts and rural southeastern Pennsylvania.

Region Pennsylvania

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.
