Skippack Township was created when the “Township of Skippack and Perkiomen” was divided along the Perkiomen Creek. The land on the east bank was established as Skippack Township. In the early days, the area was primarily agricultural and many of the farms were owned by Mennonite families. Today, agriculture still exists, but on a much smaller scale. There are some businesses that provide jobs for local residents. However, the township is gradually becoming a bedroom community as more large, executive style homes are being constructed as the years move on. The township contains two small villages called Creamery and Skippack Village. The latter acts as the unofficial center of activities for the township. In addition, Skippack Village contains small craft and antique shops, as well as crafts and activities from days past.
