Morgantown is a census-designated place[4] in Caernarvon Township, located in southern Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States.

His father, Thomas Morgan, had been a native of Wales, a captain in the French and Indian War, and owner of a large tract of choice land in Caernarvon Township.

Now it is much larger and busier with the settlement of several manufacturing companies, including Timet, Morgan Corp. Stoltzfus Spreaders, Viwinco Windows and McNeilus cement mixers.

Conestoga Christian School and High Point Baptist Academy are based in the area.

[14] The earliest mention of Groundhog Day is an entry on February 2, 1840, in the diary of James L. Morris of Morgantown, in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, according to a book on the subject by Don Yoder.

February 2, 1840, read: "Today the Germans say the groundhog comes out of his winter quarters and if he sees his shadow he returns in and remains there 40 days."

"[15] In the opening scene of Master of the World (1961), just before an explosion on a nearby mountain, a character in a fictionalized 19th-century Morgantown declares: We're living in a cemetery.
