Upper Fairfield Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
Upper Fairfield Township is a township in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,854 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area.
==History==
The history of Upper Fairfield Township begins in 1851 when some dissatisfied citizens of the southern portion of Fairfield Township asked to be separated from the neighbors to the north. The citizens of the northern portion were strongly against division, but the township was divided against their wishes on September 12, 1851.
Upper Fairfield Township was called Pollock Township during its first two years of existence. It was named for Judge James Pollock, president of the district court that ordered the township to be divided, and a controversial figure at the time. Since the citizens of Upper Fairfield Township opposed division, they were disturbed by its name. Following a petition to the court that the township's name be changed, an act of the Pennsylvania General Assembly changed the name to Upper Fairfield Township on January 29, 1853.〔
