Cranberry Township was incorporated in 1804 and covers an area of approximately 23.69 square miles. The population and area is continually growing with about 28,000+ residents. Part of the reason for the phenomenal growth is the opening of Interstate 279 in 1989 which enabled commuters to downtown Pittsburgh to cut their travel time to 30 minutes or less. Cranberry Township is also conveniently located at the intersection of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I76), Interstate 79, and Routes 19 and 228. Accessibility is also a great advantage to businesses located in the area and in the Thorn Hill Industrial Park.
