Towns & Villages in Jefferson County<\/h2>\n

Jefferson County’s 11 boroughs are its only incorporated municipalities; the rest of the county is organized into 23 townships that contain one census-designated place, Crenshaw, and dozens of smaller unincorporated communities and rural crossroads with no municipal government of their own. In the table below, “CDP” marks the census-designated place and “Unincorp.” marks an unincorporated community. Pennsylvania boroughs sit outside the surrounding township for governmental purposes, so their Township column reads “—”.<\/p>\n

A handful of unincorporated communities share a name with the township that surrounds them — Porter, Warsaw and Winslow each name both a village and a township — which is common practice in rural Pennsylvania and is not a duplication.<\/p>\n

Townships<\/h2>\n

Jefferson County’s 23 townships govern the rural land outside its 11 boroughs. The U.S. Census Bureau does not publish separate population totals for Pennsylvania townships in the sources checked for this profile, so populations below are left unlisted rather than guessed.<\/p>\n
