court of Lancaster County, West Hanover Township was created;
and
WHEREAS, A month after the creation of West Hanover Township,
Dauphin County was created; and

the 225th anniversary of the creation of the township by holding
events beginning on March 20, 2010, such as a breakfast
featuring Benjamin Franklin at Fire Company No. 1; therefore be

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives commemorate the
225th anniversary of the creation of West Hanover Township,
