Muncy Creek Township

Muncy Creek Township is a township in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,474 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Williamsport Metropolitan Statistical Area. The unincorporated village of Clarkstown is in Muncy Creek Township.

Muncy Creek Township was formed when Muncy Township was divided for the second time in 1797. The township is named for Muncy Creek, a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River that flows through it. Some of the oldest settlements of Lycoming County are in Muncy Creek Township. The township also played an important role in the development and regular use of the Pennsylvania Canal along the West Branch. The hamlet of Port Penn rose up along the section of the canal that passed through Muncy Creek Township. This hamlet, greatly reduced in population, was a very busy and sometimes dangerous place.
