A history of Hereford
Hereford Township has a long history; it was first inhabited by the Lenni-Lenapi Native Americans and then settled in the early 1700s by Germans and English fleeing religious persecution. As settlers spread across the rural Pennsylvania hills, it was Hereford's stretches of farmable land and rich iron deposits that encouraged people to stay. Today, the township remains a primarily agricultural community, home to a stable population of around 3,000. "It's a friendly, quiet place," says Louisa Masemore, the township's assistant secretary. "And we have a lot of older historic buildings that the board takes conscious efforts to preserve."
Small towns and historical living
The densest residential hub is Hereford town, which includes the mobile home park Herford Estates. Mobile homes go for just under $100,000, with rental options as well. But several small towns dot the Hereford hills, lined with houses built at the turn of the twentieth century. With stone siding and quaint front porches, living in town feels like stepping back in time, and properties start at $200,000 for quarter-acre lots. Farther out, stone homes built in the mid-1800s cost anywhere from $500,000 for 1 acre to $1.2 million for 100 acres. Featuring renovated interiors and private pools, these homes offer historical living with modern luxuries. For newer builds, mid-century ranch styles start at $300,000, and contemporary colonials start at $400,000. There aren't many sidewalks in Hereford, and some homes are situated back on private roads.

Community celebrations and parks
Up in the north of the township, Hereford Township Community Park offers a variety of sports courts and a volleyball sandpit. With a rental pavilion, this park is a popular spot for small community events. Located in the mobile home community, Treichler Park's basketball court just got redone to make it usable as a pickleball court. And in the south of the community, locals enjoy Tollgate Eco-Park's butterfly garden and creekside picnic tables. It's also a favorite fishing spot. "We host a fishing rodeo at Eco Park twice a year," Masemore says. "Those always have a pretty big turnout." For more community fun, the Hereford Volunteer Fire Company hosts seasonal events like Santa visits and summer barbecues. They are best known for their monthly hoagie sales. "The fire department does a lot for the community and the local elementary school- and their subs are really good," Masemore enthuses.

Local restaurants in historic buildings
Savory Grill, located in the historic Seisholtzville Hotel, is a go-to spot for an upscale dinner. Make sure to call ahead because the romantic dining room fills up quickly. Poor Richards also makes its homes in a historic inn from the 1800s but has a more homey feel, with rustic American food and a lively bar. Tamato's Deli & Market is a local favorite for quick eats, and a Wawa in Hereford offers daily essentials. But for most grocery shopping, residents head into Pennsburg for a Walmart and Weis Markets.
