"Whitpain Township, one of the oldest townships of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, was settled as early as 1685. Prior to 10 September 1784 it was a part of Philadelphia when the present Montgomery County was created from Philadelphia County.

"The exact date of the establishment of Whitpain as a township has not yet been definitely ascertained. However, as one of the original townships laid out by William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, it is known to have existed on 4 March 1701 as 'Whitpain Township' when it is mentioned in official records.

"It is one of the central townships of the county, bounded on the west by Worcester, north by Upper and Lower Gwynedd, east by Whitemarsh and south by Plymouth and East Norriton townships, with the Borough of Ambler and Upper Dublin Township in the northeast corner. Mostly rectangular in shape, it is 4.5 miles long and 3 miles wide, containing 8640 acres, approximately 12.8 square miles. It has been fortunate in maintaining its boundaries intact from outside encroachments for over 300 years."
