Township of Limerick
Between Pottstown and King of Prussia, the township of Limerick is about 38 miles from downtown Philadelphia, located to the northwest of Philly. The population of Limerick is about 20,000 and takes it’s name from Limerick, Ireland – where early settlers descended.
Your Limerick Real Estate Guide quickly points to neighboring boroughs, townships, cities for combined community services, schools, shopping, and recreation. This is a common theme in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania – shared amenities make for better living!
Settlement here began in the early 1700’s. A couple of local sites on the National Register of Historic Places are:
William & Mordecai Evans House was an original log home built in 1720 and even housed General George Washington on September 19, 1777.
Isaac Hunsberger House of Victorian/Georgian architecture, built in 1827.

As noted earlier, a common element of Limerick is its connection with Spring City and Royersford – lots of shared services.
