About Perry Township (Shoemakersville area)
Perry Township sits in northern Berks County along the Schuylkill River, with Shoemakersville as its small-town hub on PA-61 and quick access to I-78 via nearby Hamburg. The setting mixes farms, river flats, and crossroads communities with easy drives to Reading and the Blue Mountain region.
History
Perry Township was part of Windsor Township from 1740 until it became a separate election district (1821) and then a standalone township in 1852, named for Commodore Oliver H. Perry. Shoemakersville, founded by the Shoemaker family and later incorporated as a borough in 1921, grew as the area’s main village.
Government
Perry Township is governed by a Board of Supervisors (council-manager style), with public committee meetings on the 1st Tuesday and supervisor meetings on the 2nd Tuesday each month. Shoemakersville has its own borough government.

Community life revolves around local parks and seasonal events—like tournaments at Perry Rec Park—plus small-town traditions in Shoemakersville. Historic farmsteads and mills dot the township, reflecting Berks County’s agricultural craft heritage.
