Hatfield
Hatfield Township was incorporated in 1742, somewhat later than its neighboring townships of Montgomery, Franconia and Towamencin. The incorporated Boroughs of Lansdale and Hatfield brought about changes to the township's original size and shape.
Originally, farming was the dominant industry, but commercial and industrial development has increased, bringing with it many jobs for area residents. Even with all of this growth, Hatfield was still able to retain much of the land as open space.
A township Parks Commission and a part-time director assist in running various programs. Facilities include a public swimming pool with tennis, basketball and playground areas.
