Welcome to Plainfield Township

Plainfield Township, is a second class Township located in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, This rural community features beautiful views of the Blue Mountains, a rustic Recreation Trail, natural areas of streams and woodlands, and preserved active farms.

Plainfield Township, which is comprised of a total area of 24.98 square miles, has a rich history of farming dating back to the earliest settlers. As the County of Northampton was defined and established in 1752, it included all of Eastern Pennsylvania both North and Northwest of Bucks County. Jacob Hubler, and Lanart Carne, were appointed by the Court to oversee the Plainfield Township roads in 1755. In December of 1762, Jacob Hubler, was the first of twelve residents to sign a petition to present to the Court of Quarter sessions held in Easton for the County of Northampton. The petitioners' request to conduct a survey to set the boundaries of Plainfield Township and was approved and recorded by the Court on December 24, 1762. The name Plainfield was given to the Township because it was devoid of trees. The Indians had set fire to the area to clear it for driving game through Wind Gap for harvesting.
