Lansdale is a borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 28 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Early in the twentieth century, its industries included agricultural implement works, a canning factory, foundries, brickyards, a silk mill, and manufacturers of cigars, stoves, shirts, rope, iron drain pipe, and glue. In 1900, 2,754 people lived here; in 1910, 3,551; and in 1940, 9,316 people were inhabitants of Lansdale. The population was 16,071 at the time of the 2000 census.
Lansdale is located within the North Penn School District and is home to Knapp and York Avenue Elementary Schools and Penndale Middle School.
Lansdale was incorporated as a borough in 1872 as a result of population growth surrounding the railroad junction constructed there by the North Penn Railroad. Currently, Lansdale is serviced by SEPTA with several bus routes and two commuter rail stations (Lansdale and Pennbrook) on the R5 line. Both Doylestown and Center City Philadelphia are easily accessible via rail.
