Boyertown

Boyertown is a small borough located in the southeastern part of Berks County, situated among rolling countryside and neighboring communities. The town covers just under a square mile and has a compact, walkable layout centered around its historic core.

This borough was founded by Henry and Daniel Boyer, who established roots here in the early days of settlement. The area grew steadily through the 1800s, becoming an important local center.

The roots of this place show in how people speak and build, shaped by German-speaking settlers who arrived long ago. Visitors can see this connection in older buildings and the names used around town.

Pennsylvania Route 73 runs east to west through the borough, making it easy to reach from surrounding areas. The small size means you can explore most of it on foot without much effort.

The schools serving this area are managed by a single school district that operates multiple facilities across different grade levels. This unified education system is a defining feature of community life here.
