The population was 2,504 at the 2010 census. ==History== '''Salford Township''', founded in 1892, is a portion of the original Salford Township. In 1741, because of population growth the original Salford Township split into [[Marlborough Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Marlborough]], [[Upper Salford Township, Pennsylvania|Upper Salford]] and [[Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Lower Salford]] townships, and part of [[Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Franconia Township]]. In 1892, Upper Salford further split into the present day Salford and Upper Salford townships. The earliest official documents for the original Salford Township are located within the four extant townships and at the state library. The [[Landis Homestead]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1986.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref> ==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the township has a total area of 9.6 square miles (24.7 km<sup>2</sup>), of which 9.5 square miles (24.7 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and 0.04 square mile (0.1 km<sup>2</sup>) (0.21%) is water. The township is drained by the [[Perkiomen Creek]] into the [[Schuylkill River]]. Its villages include Naceville (also in Bucks County) and Tylersport. ===Neighboring municipalities=== *[[Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Franconia Township]] (southeast) *[[Upper Salford Township, Pennsylvania|Upper Salford Township]] (southwest) *[[Marlborough Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania|Marlborough Township]] (northwest) *[[West Rockhill Township, Pennsylvania|West Rockhill Township, Bucks County]] (northeast) ==Transportation== {{stack|[[File:2022-10-14 13 47 35 View north along Interstate 476 (Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension) from the overpass for Clump Road in Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.jpg|right|thumb|I-476/Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension northbound in Salford Township]]}} As of 2018 there were {{convert|39.39|mi}} of public roads in Salford Township, of which {{convert|3.00|mi}} were maintained by the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission|Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC)]], {{convert|9.98|mi}} were maintained by the [[Pennsylvania Department of Transportation]] (PennDOT) and {{convert|26.41|mi}} were maintained by the township.<ref name=PennDOTmap>{{cite web |url=https://gis.penndot.gov/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Type5/46214.pdf |title=Salford Township map |publisher=PennDOT |access-date=March 10, 2023}}</ref> The [[Interstate 476|Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476)]] is the most prominent highway passing through Salford Township.
