About Royersford

Incorporated in 1879, this borough in Montgomery County is about 32 miles northwest of Philadelphia on the Schuylkill River. What began as a farming community grew into a small iron and manufacturing center (glass, steel, embroidery, bridge parts, farm implements, and much more). With the emergence of railroads goods produced could be more easily transported and new markets came about. Current population is about 5000 in Royersford.

The Royersford Real Estate Guide shows that Royersford is considered a suburb of Philadelphia and lies on the northern banks of the Schuylkill River (which runs a good 130 miles and joins the Delaware River in Philadelphia). The River is steeped in history and a timeline of commerce activities. Currently it is a recreational mecca for rowing, regattas, and the Schuylkill River Trail – a multiuse trail for walking, biking, rollerblading, and other outdoor activities. Most of the trail is built over abandoned railroad lines. Over 75 miles of trail are paved and/or crushed stone. The trail is expected to extend to 120 miles! The whole river valley area is a local favorite and one of the Royersford Real Estate Guide’s frequent stops.
