West Rockhill Township is the countryside on the western side of the Pennridge boroughs. The original Rockhill Township was established in 1740 and split into East Rockhill and West Rockhill in 1890; the western half runs about 16 square miles of farmland, creek valleys, and wooded ridges around Sellersville and Perkasie.
Most of the township drains west by way of the East Branch Perkiomen and Unami creeks toward the Schuylkill, while its northeastern corner drains east through Threemile Run and Lake Nockamixon to the Tohickon. Practically, what it offers buyers is rural land with unusually good access — two borough main streets, Grand View Hospital services in neighboring Sellersville, and SEPTA rail all within minutes.
