Hatfield Borough was incorporated on June 27, 1898, and took its .63 square miles from Hatfield Township. Instrumental in the early development of the borough was the Bethlehem Branch of the North Pennsylvania Railroad (later the Reading Railroad, now SEPTA). Little open space is available for any type of substantial development. The borough does, however, provide housing and some consumer services to people in surrounding areas. Owners of nineteenth-century homes keep their properties in excellent condition, which helps give the borough a small town flavor. It should be noted that there is a Hatfield Township which completely surrounds the smaller Hatfield Borough. In terms of location, mailing addresses do not differentiate between the borough and the township. PUBLIC SERVICES: The entire borough is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves borough residents. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. RECREATION: The borough contains two small parks that include playground equipment. Residents may join a swimming facility run jointly with Hatfield Township. Little League programs are run by Hatfield Little League. For more information on what is available, please call 215-855-0781. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: A SEPTA bus route connects the borough with most of central Montgomery County and when used in conjunction with other bus and rail lines, residents can have access to Lower Bucks County, Eastern Montgomery County, and Philadelphia. SHOPPING: A main street shopping area provides limited shopping opportunities. Nearby communities provide everyday consumer shopping locations. The nearest major shopping mall is the Montgomery Mall.
