Towamencin Township was settled in the 1690s and was officially established in 1728. The village of Kulpsville, which takes its name from Jacob Kulp, an early landowner, has always been the center of activities for the township. In 1955, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension interchange at Kulpsville was opened. This would set the stage for future development. Over the past decade, the township, especially in the Kulpsville area, has experienced significant development. In addition, many planners feel the area will continue to develop now that the Mid-County Expressway (Blue Route) is open. This highway connects Philadelphia International Airport and Route I-95 with the interchanges of the East-West PA Turnpike and the Northeast Extension of the Turnpike at Plymouth Meeting.
