  3. 1. Early History of Reserve Township Reserve Township founded October 1, 1835.  The township's name was derived from its origin as part of the Depreciation Lands settlement.  It was part of the 3,000 acres north of the Allegheny and Ohio rivers that Pennsylvania set aside or "reserved" for settlement by Revolutionary War veterans.

  4. 1. Early History of Reserve Township (cont.) • In December, 1834, citizens of the part of Ross Township known as the "reserved lands" petitioned the court to be allowed to form a separate township.  Thomas Temple,  James Anderson and William Lecky were appointed commissioners to draw up the plan. Let’s form our own township…how ‘bout we call it Cemeteryville! Reserve Township

  5. 1. Early History of Reserve Township (cont.) • Since 1835, the original borders of Reserve Township have changed.  Because the city encroached on its boundaries from the south, the township made changes in its northern line to compensate.  Presently, Reserve Township covers about 2 square miles on the eastern border of North Side.  It is also bordered by Ross and Shaler Townships and Millvale Borough.

Historically, this hilly wooded area has been known for its truck farms.  Through the years, much land was given to twelve cemeteries that occupy many of the steep hillsides, and residential areas have developed along the relatively level ridges. There is still land devoted to farming. Reserve Township
