Why Newberry Township?!?

Newberry Township is a growing residential community situated between Harrisburg and York. Because of this prime location, there is easy access to enjoy all the cultural events offered by both cities with very little travel, while living in an area that is suburban to the city environment. Newberry Township offers a variety of housing opportunities for all income levels. These opportunities include townhouses, single-family attached and detached homes, mobile homes, and apartments.

History of Newberry Township:
Prior to the coming of the first settlers in 1736, Newberry Township was inhabited by Susquehannock Indians.  Settlers used the Middletown Ferry to access the west bank of the River and reached what is now Newberry Township, settled throughout the Fishing Creek Valley.  Newberry Township was organized in 1742 and included what is now Fairview Township.
