About East Norwegian Twp
Founded in 1804, East Norwegian Township is one of the oldest municipalities in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Originally part of the larger Norwegian Township, the area was named for early Norwegian settlers and the rolling “Norwegian” coal fields that became central to the region’s growth. In the 19th century, the township thrived as part of the Anthracite Coal Region, with mining, railroads, and small communities shaping its identity. Today, while much of the coal industry has faded, East Norwegian Township remains proud of its rich heritage, close-knit neighborhoods, and the scenic beauty of its hills, valleys, and streams.
