North Wales Borough was incorporated on August 20, 1869. This was the first borough created by the Montgomery County Courts. The borough’s seven tenths of a square mile were taken from what was, at the time, Gwynedd Township. The business community consists primarily of professional offices and small stores. Industry, which once heavily supported the borough, has moved to surrounding municipalities where there was room for expansion. The borough has practically no remaining developable land. However, the quality of its existing housing stock, and its prime location in the heart of the North Penn Community, makes this small borough a very attractive location. It should be noted that many residents and businesses will have a North Wales mailing address, but will actually be located in surrounding municipalities. PUBLIC SERVICES: The entire borough is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the borough. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. RECREATION: Facilities include a children’s playground, Weingartner Memorial Park, a swimming pool run jointly with Upper Gwynedd Township, and a basketball court. Little League programs are run by the Nor-Gwyn Athletic Association. For more information on what is available, please call 215-699-4424. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: SEPTA bus and rail lines give the commuter easy access to all major points, including Philadelphia, Lower Bucks County and other major points in Montgomery County. SHOPPING: A main street shopping area provides area residents with many basic goods and services. The nearest major shopping mall is the Montgomery Mall, which is very close.
