Maidencreek Township is a township in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 9,126 at the 2010 census. ==History== Maidencreek Township, established in December 1746, was named after a creek that runs diagonally through the township. Quakers who settled the area in 1732 lived peacefully among the Lenni Lenape Indians until about 1800 when the Quakers began to move west. Over the next 100 years, German and, later, Scots Welsh and Irish settlers purchased and moved into the areas that the Quakers left behind. First on the scene, the Germans established their language as the dominant language. Deutsch or “Dutch” became the primary language in the area well into the mid 1900s, when one-room schools still gave instruction in German and English as a second language was part of the curriculum. Farming was the primary means of living well into the 1900s until roadways, housing developments and commercial and industrial development began to take off in the 1980s. The Guldin Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maidencreek Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
