Susquehanna Township is a township in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 2,007 at the 2010 census.[3] It is part of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Susquehanna Township was incorporated on January 6, 1825, being formed from Allegheny and Cambria Townships. In addition to agriculture, the ready local supply of lumber attracted people to the area in the early 19th century. Much of this was transported down the West Branch Susquehanna River to lumber towns such as Williamsport. In the late 19th century, the arrival of the railroad opened up the area to coal mining. The subsequent mining boom created many jobs, attracting a large number of people to settle in the area of Susquehanna Township, many of whom remained with their families after the boom had ended.

Geography

The township is located in the northwest corner of Cambria County, bordered by Clearfield County to the north and Indiana County to the west. The West Branch Susquehanna River flows northward through the western part of the township, having risen less than {{convert|10|mi}} to the south near Carrolltown. The township is bordered by three boroughs: Northern Cambria is in the south, Hastings is on the eastern border, and Cherry Tree is at the township's northwest corner. U.S. Route 219 passes through the township, leading south {{convert|17|mi}} to Ebensburg, the Cambria County seat, and north {{convert|44|mi}} to DuBois.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of {{convert|72.6|sqkm|disp=flip}}, all of it land.[3]
