Preston is a second-class township in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. The township's population was 1,014 at the time of the 2010 United States Census.〔 ==Geography== According to the United States Census Bureau, Preston Township has a total area of 51.546 sq mi (133.51 km2), of which 49.419 sq mi (128.00 km2) is land and 2.127 sq mi (5.510 km2), or 4.126%, is water.〔 The township and surrounding area has been called "the highlands of Wayne ()" because it is especially mountainous. About half of the highest peak in the county, Mount Ararat (historically called Ararat Mountain, Ararat Peak, Ararat Summit, or simply "Ararat"〔), is located in the village of Orson (the other half of it is in Belmont Corners in Mount Pleasant Township), as is the entirety of Sugarloaf Mountain (formerly called Sugar Loaf Peak〔 or Sugar-loaf Mountain〔), another especially prominent summit. It is also known for its abundance of lakes, most of which are fed by natural springs on their lake bottoms.〔 As a result of this latter fact, combined with its generally high elevation, two significant Pennsylvania rivers, the Lackawanna and the Lackawaxen, begin in Preston Township. Specifically, Bone Pond (or Summit Lake) and Lake Lorain (or Five Mile Pond〔Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania. (p. 65 ).〕) in the village of Poyntelle and Independent Lake (formerly known as Independence Pond〔 or Independent Pond,〔Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania. (p. 90 ).〕 and sometimes known today as Lake Independence or Lake Independent) in Poyntelle and Orson are three of the four sources of the East Branch of the Lackawanna (the fourth being Dunn Pond, or Dunns Lake,〔Water Supply Commission of Pennsylvania. (p. 57 ).〕 in the village of East Ararat in Ararat Township in Susquehanna County), while the West Branch of the Lackawaxen rises from a confluence of several small, unnamed streams in Orson and Poyntelle.
