About Washington Township
The Story of Washington Township
Washington Township, located in northwestern York County, is a predominantly rural and agricultural community. Unlike neighboring areas, it has retained its wide-open spaces, productive farmland, and traditional character due to its relative isolation from major development pressures. However, increasing suburban expansion from nearby cities poses challenges to preserving its scenic landscapes and farmland.
To manage growth responsibly, Washington Township has actively planned for the future. Since the 1970s, the Township has worked with the York County Planning Commission to develop and update its Comprehensive Plan, ensuring development enhances rather than detracts from the community’s quality of life.
