Maidencreek Township
Maidencreek Township was established in December of 1746 and
was named after the creek that runs diagonally through the township.
Quakers originally settled the area in 1732 and lived peacefully
among the Lenni Lenape Indians. Around 1800, the Quakers began
to move west and their farms and homesteads were purchased by
Germans. Later the Scots, Welsh and Irish settled in the area but for
the next 100 years, "Pennsylvania Dutch" was the predominate
language spoken in the township. Four out of five people were
farmers and were very industrious and religious.
Today Maidencreek Township is a second class township with an
area of 14.8 square miles. The township consists of the Village of
Blandon, Evansville, Maidencreek and Molltown is part of the
Fleetwood Area School District. The late 1980's saw the beginning of
major growth in the Blandon Area and the 2000 U.S. Census
population is 6,553 people.
