Welcome to Williams Township, Dauphin County, PA!

On the 7th of February 1869 the court directed the township of Williams to be formed from the township of Wiconisco. Williams Township is bounded on the east by the Schuylkill County line, on the south by Jackson Township, on the north by Lykens Township and on the west by Wiconisco Township. Although one of the smallest townships in Dauphin County, it is by no means the least important. It is the center of the Lykens-Williams Valley coal basin. Its early history and development of its coal interests are part of the history of the valley.
