History
The town was originally named Welshtown, because it was settled by the Welsh. Souderton is prefigured in a map of 1847 as Souder’s Lumberyard, and the new name was certainly in place by the railroad era in the second half of the 19th century. The name comes from town resident Henry O. Souder and his store near the railroad.
The Souderton Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
