Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Souderton, PA

Souderton is a borough in the Indian Valley region of Montgomery County, built along Skippack Creek.

The land under Souderton was Lenape homeland for thousands of years before Welsh settlers John Mathias and Thomas Morgan arrived around 1710; the settlement was first known as Welshtown.

Souderton takes its name from Henry O. Souder, the local businessman who promoted the railroad stop known as Souder's Station and in whose home the Union National Bank was organized in 1876.

Souderton was incorporated on December 15, 1887, when about 600 people lived there, and the new borough covered just 211 acres.

Souderton grew quickly with the railroad and its factories: 1,875 residents by 1910 and about 4,000 by 1930.

The 2020 census counted 7,191 people in Souderton, and the borough reports roughly 2,100 homes within its borders.

The Souderton Historic District, preserving many buildings from the borough's boom era, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

At only about 1.1 square miles, Souderton is a compact, walkable borough known for its hill-and-hollow Main Street layout above Skippack Creek.

Souderton's earliest landowner, George Stuart, built a log cabin around what is now West Street Park, and his 1734 sale of 1,000 acres covered the ground that eventually became the borough.
