History
Oreland’s name comes from the lime and ore in its ground. In 1686 Thomas Fitzwater found lime here and built a kiln, and by 1693 a road was ordered to it, the road that became Limekiln Pike. The village was laid out in 1889 next to the North Penn Railroad. During the Revolution, Washington used the nearby Emlen House as his headquarters from November 2 to December 11, 1777.
