 Abington Township is one of Montgomery County’s oldest communities dating back to before 1700; however, the official date for the incorporation of the township is 1704. Abington is home to some of the county’s oldest transportation routes, industries and churches. Many of these older business and transportation centers were the forerunners of modern Abington. Today, Abington Township is a highly desirable residential area that contains a major shopping center, many small businesses, and a few of Montgomery County's largest employers. Communities within the township include Rydal, Jenkintown, Meadowbrook, North Hills, Overlook Hills, Roslyn. Also, there are sections of Huntingdon Valley postal code (19006) that exist within the township. These include the areas known as “June Meadows” and “Chapel Manor.”
