Upper Dublin dates back to the American 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 Sept. 10, 1784, and granted its current status of First Class Township in the State of Pennsylvania on Jan. 1, 1946.
The primary center of business and industry in the township is the Fort Washington Office Park. It occupies 536 acres, with about 6 million square feet of building area in the park. There are more than 65 buildings of various sizes up to 658,535 square feet. The Fort Washington Office Park contains the Fort Washington Expo Center, the largest single-floor center of its type on the East Coast. There are other centers of business and industry as well throughout the township.
