The year 1701 is believed to be the year that Berks County was first settled. Exeter Township was founded December 7th, 1741. Previously considered part of Oley Township, the area's residents petitioned Philadelphia County to become a separate Township six months after the establishment of Oley. The actual name of the Township, "Exeter", is generally credited to the George Boone family. That family was from a town called Bradninch, England, just outside the town of Exeter. Many similarities still exist between the two cities, among them being the geography, soil type, and proximity to a town called St. Lawrence. Through the 19th and 20th centuries, Exeter began to grow due to the need for connections between the city of Reading, Oley, Boyertown, Birdsboro, and King of Prussia. Suburban sprawl after World War II boosted Exeter's population. This contributed to creating growth and Exeter Township is now a thriving community of over 21,000 people. With excellent schools ?
