Upper Dublin Township

Upper Dublin dates back to the Colonies in 1684, when Edward Tanner named his land grant from William Penn “Upper and Lower Dublin.” The “lower” portion has since been absorbed by Philadelphia. The “upper” portion has continued to exist around the original survey for the laying out and naming of Susquehanna Road. Upper Dublin Township was formally created on September 10, 1784, and granted its current status of First Class Township in the State of Pennsylvania on January 1, 1946. Originally, the area started as a farming community with additional activity in the mining of limestone. Limekiln Pike today continues to be an important travel artery.

The primary center of business and industry in the Township is the Fort Washington Office Park. It occupies 536 acres. There is about 6 million square feet of building area in the park. The Fort Washington Office Park contains Honeywell, Aetna, NCO, GE Financial, and Temple University Fort Washington to name a few.


Pennsylvania

The Keystone State: A "keystone" is a central, wedge-shaped stone which holds all the other stones of a structure in place to form an arch.

In early America, Pennsylvania played a vital geographic and strategic role in holding together the states of the newly formed Union. Today, Pennsylvania continues to be of key importance to the social, economic, and political development of the United States. (Source: VisitPA.com)
