Our Story
Souderton is an evolving town, centrally located within 30 miles of Philadelphia, Allentown, and central New Jersey. It is home to art galleries, theaters, retail stores, eclectic bars, eateries, community parks and known for its walk-ability and charm.
Souderton’s Main Street began as a dirt road and was the center for the local farming community which led to strong textile and cigar-making industries. Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania, began in 1876 in the heart of Souderton and continues to serve the community. This is just one of many businesses who has a deep rooted history. The Souderton Historical Society keep our local stories alive and our historical architecture preserved. Rehabilitated buildings and unused factories have been transformed into the innovative businesses that are visible today.
