Lower Salford Township, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1741 in modern day Montgomery County, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia. The township seal is prominently displayed on the Weissbier-colored patch of the local police department and pays homage to the area’s rich history. The center depicts a Pennsylvania Dutch couple in front of a wheat field—many of Lower Salford’s early settlers were of Germanic descent, and most came from an agricultural background. Above the depiction is the word “gemeinschaft,” which is German for “a sense of community.”
