'''Plunketts Creek Township''' is a [[List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|township]] in [[Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Lycoming County]], [[Pennsylvania]], United States. It includes the villages of [[Barbours, Pennsylvania|Barbours]] and [[Proctor, Pennsylvania|Proctor]]. The population was 595 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]],<ref name="USCensusEst2020-2021"/> down from 684 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. It is part of the [[Williamsport, Pennsylvania|Williamsport]] [[Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

==History==
===Colonial and Revolutionary era===
Plunketts Creek Township was formed from parts of [[Franklin Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Franklin Township, Lycoming County]], and what is now [[Davidson Township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania|Davidson Township, Sullivan County]], by the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of Lycoming County in 1838. The township was once much larger in size, but several townships in both Lycoming and Sullivan counties have been carved from its original boundaries. The township is named for [[Plunketts Creek (Loyalsock Creek tributary)|Plunketts Creek]], a [[tributary]] of [[Loyalsock Creek]]. The creek is in turn named for Colonel William Plunkett, a frontier doctor and [[Militia (United States)|militia]] officer during the [[American Revolution|pre-Revolution]] years in the [[Province of Pennsylvania]]. He was noted for his skill in dressing the wounds of pioneers who had been [[scalping|scalped]] during the [[French and Indian War]]. Plunkett was also a veteran of the [[Pennamite–Yankee War]], which had pitted settlers from [[Connecticut]] to the [[Wyoming Valley]] of Pennsylvania against those who had been established in Pennsylvania prior to the Connecticut settlers' arrival. He received title to land at the mouth of the creek that is now named for him.<ref name="history"/>

The township was originally to be called Plunkett Township. Some residents of the township did not approve of this name. They questioned William Plunkett's loyalty, for he had remained largely "passive" regarding the American Revolution. Some believed that he had sympathized with the cause of the [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Tories]] during the Revolution,<ref name="militia">{{ cite web | url = http://www.rightsofthepeople.com/guns/militia/militia_toryism_new_england_new_york.html | title = Historical Overview of Militia Toryism in New England and New York: "Right to Keep and Bear Arms" | access-date = August 7, 2007 | publisher = RightsOfThePeople.com }} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> but others wanted to honor one of the first and most important settlers to the area.

The first white man to live in Plunketts Creek Township had the surname of Paulhamus. Tradition states that he was a [[deserter]] during the Revolutionary War. He fled from the [[Red coat (military uniform)#American War of Independence|Redcoats]] and cleared a small piece of land in the wilderness along Loyalsock Creek near the mouth of Bear Creek. Paulhamus was a [[squatter]] on the land from 1770 until 1776, when it is thought that he was forced to rejoin the British Army. Permanent settlers did not arrive in Plunketts Creek Township until 1818. Three men, Donelly, Smith and Payne, found the cabin that had been abandoned by Paulhamus. They expanded Paulhamus' improvements and began [[Agriculture|farming]], [[fishing]] and [[hunting]] in the area.

===Logging and tanning era===
[[Logging]] was the principal industry in Plunketts Creek Township during the mid-to-late 19th century. Thousands of acres of [[old-growth forest]] were harvested and floated down Loyalsock Creek and its tributaries to one of the many [[sawmill]]s that had sprung up throughout Lycoming County. There were several sawmills in Barbours, a village along Loyalsock Creek in the township.

In 1832, John Barbour built a [[sawmill]] on Loyalsock Creek near the mouth of Plunketts Creek, and the village of Barbours Mills (today Barbours) developed at the site. In the 19th century, Barbours had several [[blacksmith]]s, a [[temperance movement|temperance]] hotel, a [[post office]], many sawmills, a school, store and wagon maker. In 1840, a road was built north from Barbours along Plunketts Creek, crossing it several times. This is the earliest possible date for construction of the bridge, but the surviving county road docket on the construction does not mention either bridges or [[ford (crossing)|fords]] for crossing the creek.

Without timber and the tannery, the populations of Proctor and Barbours declined. The Barbours post office closed in the 1930s, and the Proctor post office closed on July 1, 1953.

Plunketts Creek Township is on the eastern edge of Lycoming County. It is bordered by [[Sullivan County, Pennsylvania|Sullivan County]] to the northeast, [[Shrewsbury Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Shrewsbury Township]] to the southeast, [[Wolf Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Wolf]], [[Mill Creek Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Mill Creek]] and [[Upper Fairfield Township, Pennsylvania|Upper Fairfield]] townships to the south, [[Eldred Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Eldred Township]] to the southwest, [[Gamble Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Gamble Township]] to the west, and [[Cascade Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Cascade Township]] to the northwest. [[Pennsylvania Route 87]] crosses the center of the township, following Loyalsock Creek and passing through the village of Barbours. PA-87 leads northeastward {{convert|15|mi}} to [[Forksville, Pennsylvania|Forksville]] and southwestward the same distance to [[Montoursville, Pennsylvania|Montoursville]] in the valley of the [[West Branch Susquehanna River]].

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the township has a total area of {{convert|140.1|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|138.7|sqkm|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|1.7|sqkm|order=flip}}, or 0.97%, are water.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2016"/> All of the township is in the watershed of [[Loyalsock Creek]] except for the southeastern corner, where a small area drains to tributaries of [[Muncy Creek]], like Loyalsock Creek a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna. [[Allegheny Ridge]], with summit elevations from {{convert|1665|to|2100|ft}}, runs from west to east just north of the southern border of the township.
