History

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

This former borough is by far the oldest settlement of East Pennsboro Township. The merger of the former borough with East Pennsboro Township was spearheaded by Mr. & Mrs. Leonard A. Portzline of West Fairview. The couple and other citizens were interested in the pursuit of greater cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and improvement in the delivery of local governmental services. The merger has become a model used by other communities across the state.
