Welcome to Southampton Township - Cumberland County
Southampton Township is about a one hour drive south of the Harrisburg area on Interstate 81. Our township offers an attractive rural setting within a few minutes of business, shopping and cultural areas. As our township grows, there is more than adequate space for growth as well as ample opportunities for new businesses. Our Planning Committee helps to maintain orderly development in our Township to preserve the heritage, safety, and beauty of our community.
Southampton Township is governed by Board of Supervisors and consists of three (3) elected officials, each serving a six (6) year term. The Board of Supervisors is charged with the general government of the Township to secure the health, welfare and safety of the citizens. A directory of the Supervisors is provided in the Township Directory section of this web site.
The site has been designed to offer township residents as well as the general public information about the township. . It is the hope of the Board of Supervisors that this site will make interaction with the Township convenient and informative to all on-line users. The site is updated periodically. If you cannot find the information you are seeking, please contact the township office.

Be Prepared for Snow... Winter Snow Guidelines…
SNOW PLOWING FOR TOWNSHIP ROADS –
-
The Township’s policy is to first open the roads to make them travelble. Salting and cindering will be performed as needed. After initial plowing, it is necessary to have the plow return to widen the path. This provides an area to plow additional snow if another storm should arrive prior to a melting period. Residents are asked to park their cars in a driveway. It’s almost impossible for the township equipment operator not to push snow into driveways that are already plowed. This is not done deliberately.
-
Do not shovel snow into the road or have your driveway plowed into the road. This can cause a serious traffic hazard. If possible, it is best to place snow on the side of your driveway opposite the direction the plow is traveling. By implementing this technique, the plow will push snow away from your driveway rather than back into it. It is nearly impossible to plow the road without depositing snow into your driveway.
-
Residents are also asked to clear snow away from Fire Hydrants.
-
Please place recycle bins, trash containers and basketball hoops in your driveway (not on the road) so these objects do not become a hazard for motor vehicles and snowplows using the road
