Upper Dublin Township, located in the eastern part of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is home to nearly 27,000 residents and continues to grow in both popularity and prosperity. This affluent area includes several notable communities such as Abington, Ambler, Fort Washington, Maple Glen, and Willow Grove.

With a high median household income of approximately $164,000, Upper Dublin is recognized for its quality of life, excellent schools, and attractive neighborhoods. It also has a fascinating place in American history—Emlen House, located in the township, once served as George Washington’s headquarters during the Whitemarsh Encampment prior to the march to Valley Forge in the Revolutionary War.

Up until the 1950s, Upper Dublin was largely rural farmland. That began to change with the opening of the Fort Washington Office Park in 1955—considered the first modern suburban business park on the East Coast. Today, this massive 566-acre hub is home to over 80 commercial buildings, more than 230 businesses, and around 12,000 employees. The park has modernized over time, now featuring mixed-use developments that include multi-family housing, retail, and dining options. It has become a magnet for corporate headquarters, research facilities, and call centers, making Upper Dublin an economic driver in the region.

Outdoor Activities in Upper Dublin

Nature lovers are drawn to the area as well, thanks to the vast and scenic Wissahickon Creek, which stretches nearly 23 miles. The final leg of the creek flows through a dramatic gorge and into the expansive Wissahickon Valley Park. This 1,800-acre park offers over 50 miles of trails for walking, biking, and horseback riding—providing a serene escape within a densely wooded environment. The creek is annually stocked with trout, making it a popular destination for both spin and fly fishing.

Also within the township is the Four Mills Nature Preserve in Ambler, home to the historic headquarters of Wissahickon Trails at the Four Mills Barn. This 56-acre preserve includes trails along the river, charming bridges, and dense forestland filled with a wide variety of tree species. Several smaller creeks merge with the Wissahickon at this spot, creating picturesque views and excellent birdwatching opportunities.

From its deep-rooted history to its thriving business parks and gorgeous natural landscapes, Upper Dublin Township offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and outdoor living.
