Penn Township started out as a predominantly agricultural community. Nevertheless, as neighboring Pittsburgh grows, the once quiet township has slowly transformed into a thriving bedroom community. Most of the residents living in Penn Township work outside of the community. Approximately 44 percent of residents living in the township moved there at some point during the 1980s. The township was established in 1854 and was one of the first two original townships founded in Butler County, which was formed in 1804. Nonetheless, the land that would become present-day Penn Township was first settled by Europeans as early as 1796. The area was a part of the Depreciation Lands Act of 1783 which allotted tracts of land to Revolutionary War Veterans. The entire southern portion of Butler County was inside the Depreciation Lands Area. When a railroad was established, it built a major rail line running between Pittsburgh and Chicago that still runs through the township today. Another rail line runs north and south through Penn Township as well. This played a significant role in the established patterns of development that can still be seen at present.
