The Borough of Lansdale as we know it today, started as a small village in the early colonial days. The area now known as Lansdale, was landscaped as a large forest of trees. The native residents were Lenni Lenape Indians.

Lansdale began to grow into a prosperous community around the 1850′s, when the Northern Railroad was established. With the building and establishment of the railroad, brought much needed work to the area, therefore creating the need for homes, businesses and even hotels.

In 1860, with the migration of people moving into the area, the federal government mandated this small village to become a post office village. The village continued to expand at a faster pace and its founding fathers decided that the village should be incorporated. This application was granted by the courts on August 24, 1872.

The Lansdale Borough got it’s name from a railroad engineer by the name of Phillip Lansdale Fox. This small postal town, comprised of 269 acres became incorporated as Lansdale Borough.

Today, the established Lansdale Borough is home to approximately 17,000 residents, living in a 2.96 square mile area. The Lansdale community has over 1,894.40 acres consisting of beautiful homes, townhomes and condo developments.
