Bart Township carries one of southeastern Lancaster County’s most distinctive histories. Named from the abbreviated title of Colonial Governor Sir William Keith (Baronet, shortened to “Bart”), the township was formally established in 1744 after splitting from Sadsbury Township. Its first settlers were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who arrived seeking religious liberty and found fertile land watered by Nickel Mine Run and the West Branch of the Octoraro. By 1776, the settlement of Bartshire had grown into the commercial center of southern Lancaster County, complete with mills, a blacksmith shop, a cooperage, a store, and a post office. Today, Bart Township is recognized as home to the oldest Amish community in the United States, with communities including Nickel Mines, Georgetown, Mount Pleasant, Ninepoints, and Bartville spread across 16 square miles of rolling Lancaster County farmland. From historic farmhouses along Quarry Road to residential properties throughout the township, Bart homes require HVAC systems built to handle Pennsylvania’s full seasonal range.
