Monroe Township

Welcome to Monroe Township, Snyder County Pennsylvania!

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Susquehanna Valley, Monroe Township is a vibrant community rich in heritage, natural beauty, and neighborly spirit. Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a new neighbor, or a curious visitor, we’re delighted to welcome you to our township. 

Monroe Township is one of Snyder County’s most scenic and historically rooted municipalities. It is named after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States. With rolling farmland, quiet woodlands, and a strong sense of community, we offer a peaceful rural lifestyle just minutes from regional hubs like Selinsgrove and Middleburg. Founded in the early 19th century, our township has grown from its agricultural roots into a dynamic blend of tradition and progress. We take pride in preserving our history while embracing thoughtful development and innovation. Monroe Township was incorporated on May 23, 1856 from portions of Union and Penn Township. 

Monroe Township is home to the village of Hummels Wharf, The Susquehanna Valley Mall, and a commercial strip, that includes Monroe Marketplace. Explore Monroe Township today! Take a drive through our scenic backroads, visit one of our beautiful parks, or stop by one of our local businesses. Monroe Township is more than a place—it’s a community built on connection, care, and pride.

We encourage residents to stay informed and involved. Whether you’re looking for permit information, community events, or ways to get involved, we’re here to help.

TNR PROGRAM

Monroe Township and Cherished Cat Rescue have joined forces to control the feral cat population in the township humanely.  If you have a cat colony in your neighborhood and would like help to get them humanely trapped and neutered simply go to the Township office and complete an application or download one HERE and drop it off at the office.  That application will get scanned to the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Coordinator who will be in touch about the details of the program. 

Please also visit the Cherished Cats website (www.cherishedcats.org/tnr) and complete the TNR assistance form. The cats to be trapped must have a caretaker who feeds them regularly and provides them with shelter from severe weather conditions.  In most cases, there is no cost to you to participate in this program.  This includes the spay/neuter, rabies and distemper vaccines and ear tip, and in some cases flea medications. All cats must come in a humane (live) trap. Cherished Cats has some traps available to borrow and they will train you on their use.
