The story so far

Springhill Township, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Springhill Township yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Springhill Township is a township in Greene County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 322 at the time of the 2020 census, a decline from the figure of 349 that was documented by the 2010 census. In August 2025 the township's Board of Supervisors declared a "disaster emergency" which allows it to seek state and federal funds to install a water system after residents complained that their water had been contaminated for over three years, believed to be caused by fracking. Neighboring Freeport Township had made a similar declaration in June 2025.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 349 to 319 (-9%).
