Silver Spring Township, PA Facts.

Silver Spring Township was incorporated 1757, the 4th-oldest township in Cumberland County, with a population of 18,314 est. (2019, up from 13,657 in 2010), one of the fastest-growing townships in the county. It borders Perry County to the north along the Blue Mountain ridgecrest. The area's best-known landmark is Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, the oldest church west of the Susquehanna River.

Silver Spring was established in 1757, making it the fourth-oldest township in Cumberland County, settled originally by Scots-Irish farmers who built the taverns, inns, and mercantile businesses that grew into the villages of Hogestown and New Kingstown. Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, still standing, holds the distinction of being the oldest church west of the Susquehanna River. The township's own historic building list runs long: limestone farmhouses along Hogestown Road, Dapp Lane, and North Locust Point Road, several dating to the 18th and early 19th centuries, sit alongside the newer subdivisions driving the township's recent growth spurt. The northern border runs along the ridgecrest of Blue Mountain, bordering Perry County, which puts the township's more rural northern half on well water in a way the county's boroughs simply are not. That mix, centuries-old stone farmhouses on private wells next to brand-new construction on municipal supply, is what makes this township's plumbing calls look different from its neighbors.

The village center at Hogestown still carries real 18th-century landmarks, including the David Hoge House and the Hoge Tavern along Carlisle Pike, and John Walker's Grist Mill near Willow Mill Park Road. These are working buildings that predate any municipal water infrastructure by well over a century, back when every property here relied on its own well and cistern.

For an older limestone farmhouse on a private well, a baseline water test is worth doing even without a current complaint, since well water quality can shift gradually enough to go unnoticed for years, especially with an aging pump or pressure tank. Many of these same rural properties are also on septic systems rather than borough sewer lines, worth keeping on its own maintenance schedule.
