==History==
Lower Swatara Township is bordered by the Susquehanna River on the south, and the Swatara Creek to the east. The Township name of "Swatara" is derived from the Indian language. The word is thought to be from an Iroquois Indian word meaning "Where we fed on eels."〔http://www.swataratwp.com/〕 The Indians established a network of pathways through the area. Presbyterian settlers from Scotland and Ireland were followed by settlers from the German Palatinate. The first settlers erected their log homes along the banks of the Susquehanna and Swatara.〔(Lower Swatara Township History )〕
The population in Pennsylvania increased. In 1729 the Paxtang Township of Lancaster County was established. The spelling "Paxtang" is from the original Indian name "Peshtank," which meant "standing water."〔http://www.susquehannatwp.com/About.asp〕
On March 4, 1785 the County of Dauphin was formed from Lancaster County. The word “Dauphin” was from the French name given to the Prince of France whose country the area government wanted to honor for its assistance in the Revolutionary War. In August of 1787 the legislature separated Paxtang Township into Upper Paxtang, Middle Paxtang and Lower Paxtang Townships.〔http://middlepaxtontwp.org/community/history/〕
Lower Paxtang Township embraced the areas now known as Lower Swatara, Swatara, Lower Paxton, Derry and Susquehanna Townships.
Lower Swatara Township was incorporated from Swatara Township on 7 November 1961 as a first class township. Within Lower Swatara are the Conrad and Margaret Allerman House and the Star Barn Complex, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
