==History==
North Versailles Township was formed on September 18, 1869, by a division of (the original) [[Versailles Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania|Versailles Township]] into North and [[South Versailles Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania|South Versailles]] townships. Versailles Township was one of the original seven townships of Allegheny County formed in 1788 from [[Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania|Westmoreland County]]. Additionally, the land which encompasses the present day North Versailles Township was disputed territory between Pennsylvania and [[Virginia]], which claimed the area as part of [[Yohogania County]] of the [[District of West Augusta]].

The territory designated in 1788 as Versailles Township now contains the townships of North Versailles and [[South Versailles Township, Pennsylvania|South Versailles]]; the boroughs of [[White Oak, Pennsylvania|White Oak]], [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]], [[Wall, Pennsylvania|Wall]], [[Versailles, Pennsylvania|Versailles]], and portions of [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]] and [[Trafford, Pennsylvania|Trafford]]; as well as the major portion (excluding 10th ward) of the city of [[McKeesport, Pennsylvania|McKeesport]].

North Versailles was further divided with the formation of the boroughs of [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]] (1895), [[Wall, Pennsylvania|Wall]] (1904), and portions of the boroughs of [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]] (1890) and [[Trafford, Pennsylvania|Trafford]] (1904). The section of [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]] on the north side of [[Turtle Creek Watershed|Turtle Creek]] was originally part of the former Patton Township, and the majority of [[Trafford, Pennsylvania|Trafford]] is situated in [[Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania|Westmoreland County]]. An area of North Versailles (Allequippa Grove, later known as North McKeesport and Highland Grove) was annexed by the city of [[McKeesport, Pennsylvania|McKeesport]].

Early villages and population centers in North Versailles included [[Port Perry, Pennsylvania|Port Perry]], Saltsburgh and Allequippa Grove along the [[Monongahela River]]; Pleasant Hill near to what is now [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]]; Point Pleasant located near the present intersections of Route 30 and McKee and Naser roads; and Stewart's Station, Spring Hill, Mosside Station, Wall Station, and Wilmerding Station along [[Turtle Creek (Monongahela River)|Turtle Creek]], a tributary of the Monongahela River.

North Versailles has a number of named neighborhoods, including the following which roughly correspond to the township's seven wards:
*Ward 1: Park Terrace
*Ward 2: Arlington
*Ward 3: Sunset and South Wilmerding
*Ward 4: Green Valley and Fite Station
*Ward 5: West Wilmerding
*Ward 6: Dixon Hollow and Oak Hill
*Ward 7: Crestas Terrace

'''Fire department:'''
At one time, North Versailles was served by eight [[volunteer fire department]]s. Each ward was served by one department, with the exception of Ward 3, which had both the Sunset and South Wilmerding VFDs. Ward 4 and 6's fire departments were the Green Valley VFD and Dixon VFD respectively.

Currently, three fire departments serve the township. Crestas VFD serves Crestas Terrace, West Wilmerding VFD serves West Wilmerding. The remaining five wards of the township are served by the Fire Department of North Versailles (FDNV) with 2 stations. The FDNV has the designation of Station 213 and is currently dispatched by the Allegheny County 911 center. Station 1 houses a rescue truck, an engine, and a squad. Station 2 houses an engine, and a squad. The stations are respectively the former Sunset-Central VFD, Green Valley VFD. They are now known as FDNV Station 1 and 2.

FDNV Station 1 is located at 1021 Broad Street and Station 2 is located at 518 Oakhurst Street.

'''Police department:'''
The North Versailles Police Department is led by Chief Norm Locke with over 20+ sworn police officers and police K9, Chase. the department has a detective bureau, traffic division, K-9 unit, and a tactical team.

In November 2023, Police Officer Steven Shawley and his K9 partner Chase were shot and wounded in the line of duty responding to a domestic violence call. Officer Shawley, who was shot in the hand and face, and K9 Chase in the front paw had made a full recovery and returned to full duty. The shooter, Ian Fields pleaded guilty to the shooting and is currently serving up to a 30-year sentence in the Pennsylvania state prison.

Up until the end of 2016, the North Versailles Township Police department patrolled the borough of [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]].

'''Emergency medical services:'''
Emergency medical services (EMS) in the Township of North Versailles is provided by the Fire Department of North Versailles (FDNV) out of Station 1. The FDNV EMS Division is led by Kayla DiMeo and is dispatched by Allegheny County 911 and holds the station number of 390. FDNV EMS Division maintains 2 type 3 ambulances (designated 391 & 392) licensed at the Advanced Life Support (ALS) level by the PA Department of Health. One ambulance is staffed 24/7 by an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and an Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P or Paramedic) and the crews work 24-hour shifts.

==Schools==
North Versailles, [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]], [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]], and [[Wall, Pennsylvania|Wall]] consolidated school systems in the early 1960s to form the [[East Allegheny School District]]. East Allegheny High School (the Wildcats – 1969) is situated off Route 48 (Jack's Run Road) near the intersection of U.S. Route 30. Green Valley School (1955) is the only surviving school of the former North Versailles School District which included (but is not limited to) the following other schools during the township's history:

*Port Perry School
*Saltsburg(h) School
*Bowman School
*Pleasant Hills School
*Spring Hill School
*Kincaid School
*Point Pleasant School
*Oak Hill School
*North McKeesport School
*Arlington School
*Sunset School
*South Wilmerding School
*Dixon Avenue School
*Crestas School
*Keith School
*West Wilmerding School
*Park Terrace Junior High

Prior to the formation of the East Allegheny School District, North Versailles high school age students were able to choose to go to one of several high schools in other districts, including East McKeesport High School (the Rams), Westinghouse Memorial High School (the Wildcats), Turtle Creek High School (the Creekers), McKeesport Area High School (the Tigers), and East Pittsburgh High School (the Shamrocks).

At the formation of the East Allegheny School District (known as Westinghouse Valley Area Schools from 1962 to 1966), Westinghouse Memorial High School became the district's official high school until the building of East Allegheny High School in 1969. The former East McKeesport High School was transformed into a junior high serving [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]], [[Wilmerding, Pennsylvania|Wilmerding]], [[Wall, Pennsylvania|Wall]] and certain portions of North Versailles near [[East McKeesport, Pennsylvania|East McKeesport]]. Park Terrace Junior High (1955—the Bobcats) served the township. During the 1968–69 school year, Park Terrace was designated a middle school serving all seventh and eighth graders in the district and East McKeesport served only 9th grade students for this one year; it would serve other populations until its closure in 1982. Neither school building exists today.

The North Versailles Police Department currently staffs police officers in East Allegheny High School and Logan Middle School.
