Welcome to West Rockhill Township
The Board of Supervisors is pleased to provide residents with this website and hope it will be helpful to review current events and obtain the information you need.
Our community depends upon many dedicated volunteers who serve on Township committees to accomplish the tasks required to support the infrastructure. As a resident, your attendance of Township meetings and involvement in special community events, or Township committees, is greatly encouraged by the Board of Supervisors. Resident involvement is the best way to ensure that a diverse cross-section of views is represented within the Township.
We hope visitors will find our scenic open spaces, farmsteads, wooded rocky hills and quaint historic villages to be as memorable and enjoyable as do our current residents. With your participation, we can collectively work together to retain the unique features that characterize West Rockhill Township for future generations.
