About Heidelberg

Heidelberg Township is a township in York County, Pennsylvania, United States. The township was erected in 1750 and encompassed the land grant known as Digges' Choice, a warrant granted to John Digges in 1727 by the colonial-era Province of Maryland, prior to the time the Mason–Dixon line fixed the final boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The population of Heidelberg Township was 3,028 at the 2020 census.

The township consisted of 9,030 acres and extended as far west as the borough (town) of McSherrystown. The township included the borough (town) of Hanover until Hanover was made a borough in 1815. When Adams County was formed from western York County in 1800, the portion of Heidelberg Township that was included in York County was subsequently renamed Conewago Township.

In 1860, the western half of Heidelberg Township including the area around Hanover was split off to form Penn Township. Although residents of this township have a Hanover address, the children attend Spring Grove School District.
