Editing Moreland Township, Pennsylvania (section)

===The name===
There are several stories about how Moreland Township was named. One story states that an early pioneer to the [[West Branch Susquehanna River Valley]] was climbing up and down the hills and upon reaching the top of a hill exclaimed, "more land!" Another story relates to the "sloppiness" of the earliest land surveys. An [[acre]] was not necessarily measured accurately. These particular acres were larger than they were supposed to be. The early settlers liked to say that they got "more land" to the acre here than they could have elsewhere. The most likely reason relates to an [[wikt:arcane|arcane]] definition of moreland, meaning "a hilly country".<ref name="meginness">{{cite book
