Douglass

County: Montgomery

Douglass Township was established in 1741 and was settled primarily by German or Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants.  The 2000 census placed the population of Douglass Township over 9,000.  It has a total area of 15.4 square miles, all of which is land.  Its villages include Congo, Gilbertsville and Niantic.  Quiet neighborhoods mark the primarily residential township; however, Douglass enjoys a significant segment of commercial activity. Township facilities include a local park, a public playground, an athletic field, a public tennis court, and several basketball courts.
