Abington Township, Suburban township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States
Abington Township spans 15.5 square miles of residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and public parks near the northern edge of Philadelphia.
The township territory was purchased from the Lenape tribe by William Penn in the 1680s and formally incorporated in 1704.
The township maintains multiple public parks, including Alverthorpe Park, where residents participate in recreational activities and community gatherings throughout the year.
The Abington School District operates seven elementary schools, one middle school, and Abington Senior High School, serving the educational needs of local families.
