Providence Township was a township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA from 1729 until it was divided in 1805.
Originally the land was a major part of William Penn's Manor of Gilberts. In 1699, Penn sold off 5,000 acres (20 km2) east of the Perkiomen Creek and leased the land to the west.[1] On 2 March 1729, the courts created Providence Township, although it was often referred to as New Providence.[2]
In 1805, Providence Township was divided along the Perkiomen Creek into the townships of Upper Providence and Lower Providence .[3]
