Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

Some other, smaller villages include: Elm, Poplar Grove, Spring Lake Park, Speedwell, and small portions of Halfville, Hopeland and Clay.

In early colonial days, the area now comprising Elizabeth Township played an important part in the development of the county.

The village of Brickerville dates from 1741, when the area's first blast furnace was built to make cast iron from ore from the Cornwall mines.

The supplying of charcoal from area forests to feed the furnaces over this period became an important related industry.

The Hammer Creek Bridge, Stiegel-Coleman House, and Speedwell Forge are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
