West Manheim Township

West Manheim Township is located in the south west corner of York County Pennsylvania, nestled against the famous Mason-Dixon border. Our growing community of approximately 8,000 residents was founded in the mid-1700's and officially established as a township by the Commonwealth in 1854. Originally comprised of Pennsylvania Dutch family farms, the area is now growing into a diverse community of quiet, residential neighborhoods, recreational areas, and burgeoning commercial interests.
