History

File:Dedication Plaque in Pennsbury Village, Pennsylvania.jpg

Pennsbury is a unique borough in that it is entirely a municipality of condo-style houses, having been built in 1973. In 1976, there was a disagreement with Robinson Township over proposed sewage treatment fees, which triggered the self-government attempt. In 1977, it separated from the surrounding township and became an Allegheny County borough.{{cite news |url=http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/cityregion/s_577462.html |title=Big challenges confront small Allegheny County municipalities |author=F A Krift |newspaper=Pittsburgh Tribune Review |date=July 14, 2008 |access-date=March 26, 2010}} The words of the Declaration of Secession included "that we can govern our affairs more effectively and equitable than a distant and disinterested authority". The first council of officials and a mayor were elected and took office in January, 1977.{{cite web |url=http://pennsburyvillageboro.com/history.htm |title=Borough Of Pennsbury Village – Birth of a borough |access-date=March 26, 2010}}
