History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The township is so named because it was originally settled largely by migrants from Gwynedd and other parts of north Wales in the 17th and 18th Centuries. For several generations the main language used in the township was Welsh.

The Keefe-Mumbower Mill, Knipe-Johnson Farm, Knipe-Moore-Rupp Farm, and Isaac Kulp Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
