The county’s previous list on this page carried dozens of unverified GNIS hamlet names,
\nincluding “Kutztown” — a real place, but one that sits in Berks County, not Lebanon
\nCounty. It has been dropped here along with other entries that could not be confirmed against
\nCensus or gazetteer sources. Fort Indiantown Gap is unusual among the CDPs: it straddles East
\nHanover and Union townships and functions as an active Pennsylvania National Guard training
\ncenter rather than an ordinary village.<\/p>\n

Townships<\/h2>\n

Lebanon County is divided into 18 townships. Per-township 2020 population figures are not
\nseparately published beyond the county’s largest, Annville, so the list below runs
\nalphabetically rather than by size; readers looking for population should use the CDP figures in
\nthe table above, since most named villages sit inside these townships.<\/p>\n
