Limerick Township History
The area that now comprises Limerick Township was first settled in the last
decade of the 17th century by Welsh immigrants. Limerick Township was incorporated
in 1726 and originally included the river crossing community of Royersford which
was not established as a separate borough until 1879. Limerick’s early commercial
growth resulted largely from the agricultural trade. The Village of Limerick
at Ridge and Swamp Pikes was the Township’s first concentrated settlement. For more Limerick History visit the NEW Limerick Historical Society's webpage at www.limerickpahistory.org
