Wallace Township was formed through a division of West Nantmeal Township in 1852. The Township as defined by its currentboundaries includes nearly the same territory as the early eighteenth century Springton Manor, minus a small portion of land that was granted to Uwchlan Township in 1853.Worth noting, however, is the Wallace Township Comprehensive Plan comment that "despite evolution from an agrarian countryside with one village and one hamlet to a proliferation of subdivisions," residents can still appreciate the area's past "because of the many symbols and artifacts which survive to reflect that heritage."
