The population was 26,668 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Race, Hispanic or Latino, Age, and Housing Occupancy: 2010 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File (QT-PL), Springettsbury township, York County, Pennsylvania )〕 The township takes its name from Springett Penn, grandson of Pennsylvania founder William Penn. ==History== Springettsbury Township was incorporated on April 20, 1891 from the northeast part of Spring Garden Township, which itself had separated from Hellam Township in 1822. Within Springettsbury, Diamond Silk Mill, East York Historic District, Pleasureville Historic District, and Strickler Family Farmhouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When East York was developed in Springettsbury Township in 1903, the York/Wrightsville Electric Railroad (trolley) began with hourly service via tracks along East Market Street (later designated part of the Lincoln Highway and US 30; now Route 462). Service to Wrightsville ended in 1932 while the frequency increased to every 20 minutes between York and a station at Kershaw Street. East York's fastest growth – the building of 167 houses – was in the 1930s. Bus service replaced the trolley in the 1940s, and the tracks were removed in the early 1950s when a fourth lane was added to East Market Street. Springettsbury Township hosted a , Caterpillar manufacturing plant〔 from 1953 until its closure in the 1990s, when the company continued operating a comparatively smaller parts distribution center. The vacant facility was acquired by a joint venture in 2002 for $9 million and received $50 million in redevelopment investments as the "York Business Center" before being sold at a profit in 2008. Primary tenants include RR Donnelley and Bon-Ton Stores. The headquarters and distribution center of the former McCrory Stores chain was hosted in Springettsbury Township from 1963. Originally founded in 1882, the stores filed for bankruptcy in 1992 and 2001, and the company ceased operation in early 2002. 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「Springettsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
