Upper Allen Township, PA Facts.

Upper Allen Township was incorporated 1850, with a population of 23,183 (2020 census, up 28.4% from 2010). It borders Mechanicsburg borough to the north, York County to the south along Yellow Breeches Creek. The area's best-known landmark is Messiah University (including its covered bridge).

Upper Allen was carved out of the original Allen Township in 1850, the same 1850 split that created Lower Allen on the other side of the dividing line. Messiah University, home to a small covered bridge on its campus, anchors the township's western side, while Grantham Pond within Grantham Park, fed by Trout Run, gives the township a real fishing and recreation spot residents actually use. The Appalachian Audubon Society also maintains a 21.4-acre spring-fed wetland preserve, Trout Run Nature Preserve, inside the township, and Upper Allen has been recognized as a certified Bird Town for its parkland. What stands out for a plumber working here is the sheer pace of current construction. Entire subdivisions are being built out right now, which means a steady stream of new-system installs, softeners and water heaters especially, rather than the aging-infrastructure repairs that dominate calls in the county's older boroughs.

The township's schools consolidated with Mechanicsburg's in 1964 to form the Mechanicsburg Area School District. The resulting mix of established family neighborhoods near Fisher Park and Winding Hill Park sits alongside the newer subdivisions. That combination is part of why service calls here span such a wide range, from routine fixture work in decades-old homes to first-time system installs in houses still under a year old, sometimes on the same street.

For a household moving into one of the newer subdivisions here, the single most useful step is a water hardness test before the first appliance shows scale buildup. That beats waiting for a problem to appear on a brand-new system that should have years of trouble-free service ahead of it, including the water heater installed at move-in.
