context_page_description: Springettsbury Township is a township in York County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 26,668 at the 2010 census. The township takes its name from Springett Penn, grandson of Pennsylvania founder William Penn. Located east and northeast of the city of York, the township hosts the York Galleria shopping mall and a large Harley-Davidson manufacturing plant.
context_section_description: East York was first developed in Springettsbury Township in 1903, and on May 21, 1904, the York/Wrightsville Electric Railroad (trolley) began with hourly service via tracks along East Market Street (later designated part of the Lincoln Highway and US 30; now Route 462). Service to Wrightsville ended in 1932 (or 1933) while the frequency increased to every 20 minutes between York and a station at Kershaw Street. East York's fastest growth – the building of 167 houses – was in the 1930s. Bus service replaced the trolley in the 1940s, and the tracks were removed in the early 1950s when a fourth lane was added to East Market Street.
  Other historic subdivisions in the township, and their years of development, include Fayfield (c. 1937 – c. 1986), Haines Acres (800 acres, 1954–1973), and Yorkshire. The York Suburban School District includes students from all of these neighborhoods and East York.
  Springettsbury Township hosted a 101-acre (41 ha), 1.5-million-square-foot (140×10³ m²) Caterpillar manufacturing plant from 1953 until its closure in the 1990s, when the company continued operating a comparatively smaller parts distribution center.
  The headquarters and distribution center of the former McCrory Stores chain was in Springettsbury Township from 1963. Founded in 1882, the stores filed for bankruptcy in 1992 and 2001, and the company ceased operation in early 2002.
