Image:Original Lycoming County Pennsylvania Map.png

When originally formed in 1795, Lycoming County was "roughly estimated at about 12,000 square miles" (31,000 km²). Its territory stretched north to the New York state line, west to the Allegheny River, south nearly to the source of the West Branch Susquehanna River, and east to include modern Sullivan County. However by 1800, just five years after its formation, the first territory was taken from it to form new counties, a process that continued until 1847.

Eighteen other Pennsylvania counties today contain land that was once part of Lycoming County: five were formed completely from it, eight were formed from it and other counties, three were formed from counties that were themselves formed partly from it, one was formed from a county that was formed completely from it, and finally one received a township from it in 1861. The third list is of these counties and gives for each its name, date of formation, counties from which it was formed, as well as the area, population, and location in Pennsylvania.

This is a list of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Under Pennsylvania law, there are three types of incorporated municipalities in the county: cities, boroughs and townships. Any municipality in Pennsylvania with more than 10 persons can incorporate as a borough. Any township or borough with a population of at least 10,000 can ask the state legislature to become chartered as a city. There are no unincorporated areas in the county, since all territory in Pennsylvania is incorporated.

The fifty two incorporated municipalities in Lycoming County are the subject of the first list, which gives their names and etymologies, dates settled and incorporated, what they were formed from, area, population, and location within the county. Two other lists dealing with former parts of Lycoming County are included. The second list is of former incorporated townships and gives the same information as above on their current status. The third list gives information on the eighteen other Pennsylvania counties which were formed from or contain land originally in the county.

In the 2000 census, the population of Lycoming County was 120,044,{{cite web|url= http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/SAFFFacts?_event=Search&geo_id=05000US42081&_geoContext=01000US%7C04000US42%7C05000US42081%7C06000US4208161640&_street=&_county=Lycoming+County&_cityTown=Lycoming+County&_state=04000US42&_zip=&_lang=en&_sse=on&ActiveGeoDiv=geoSelect&_useEV=&pctxt=fph&pgsl=050&_submenuId=factsheet_1&ds_name=DEC_2000_SAFF&_ci_nbr=null&qr_name=null®=null%3Anull&_keyword=&_industry= |title= "Fact Sheet: Lycoming County, Pennsylvania" | publisher = U.S. Census Bureau | date= 2000 | accessdate = 2007-10-08}} making it a "Fifth Class County" (defined as "having a population of 95,000 and more, but less than 145,000 inhabitants").{{cite web| url = http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_71264_0_0_18/ | title="Pennsylvania Local Government" |publisher = Commonwealth of Pennsylvania |format = PDF |accessdate = 2007-10-08 }} It is included in the Williamsport, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area and its county seat is Williamsport.

As of 2007, Lycoming County has fifty-two incorporated municipalities: one city, nine boroughs, and forty-two townships. Lycoming County's townships include one census-designated place (CDP) and fifty villages. CDPs are geographical areas designated by the U.S. Census Bureau for the purposes of compiling demographic data. Villages are marked with signs by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.{{cite news |author= Lycoming County Economic Development and Planning Services, GIS Division | url= http://dsf.seda-cog.org/lyco/lib/lyco/county_map1.pdf | title= Lycoming County, Pennsylvania |date=2005| work= Map| accessdate=2007-09-17}} Note: Official Lycoming County Map showing cities, boroughs, townships, and villages, but not smaller settlements Neither CDPs nor villages are actual jurisdictions under Pennsylvania law and their territory is legally part of the township(s) they are located in. The first list also notes the CDP and villages within their respective townships.

At 1,244 square miles (3,221 km²) as of 2007, Lycoming County is the largest county by land area in Pennsylvania (Erie County is larger, but nearly half of its area is in Lake Erie).

Its incorporated municipalities range in size from 0.6 square miles (1.5 km²) (three of the boroughs) to 76.5 square miles (198.1 km²) (McHenry Township). The city of Williamsport has the highest population of any municipality (30,706 or 25.6% of the county total as of 2000), while Brown Township in the northwest corner of the county has the lowest population (111 or 0.092%).

The territory which today makes up Lycoming County was purchased from the Iroquois at the two Treaties of Fort Stanwix in 1768 and 1784. The county was formed on April 13 1795 from part of Northumberland County. {{cite book | last = Meginness | first = John Franklin | title = History of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania: including its aboriginal history; the colonial and revolutionary periods; early settlement and subsequent growth; organization and civil administration; the legal and medical professions; internal improvement; past and present history of Williamsport; manufacturing and lumber interests; religious, educational, and social development; geology and agriculture; military record; sketches of boroughs, townships, and villages; portraits and biographies of pioneers and representative citizens, etc. etc." | date = 1892 | url = http://www.usgennet.org/usa/pa/county/lycoming/history/lyco-history-01.html | accessdate = 2007-08-05 | edition = 1st | publisher = Brown, Runk & Co. | location = Chicago, IL | isbn = 0-7884-0428-8 | quote = (Note: ISBN refers to Heritage Books July 1996 reprint.

This was nearly ten times its current size or . Its territory stretched north to the New York state line, west to the Allegheny River, south nearly to the source of the West Branch Susquehanna River, and east to include modern Sullivan County.

However by 1800, just five years after its formation, the first territory was taken from it to form new counties, a process that continued until 1847. Eighteen other Pennsylvania counties today contain land that was once part of Lycoming County: five were formed completely from it, eight were formed from it and other counties, four were formed from counties that were themselves formed partly from it, and, finally, one received a township from it in 1861.

The county originally contained seven townships when formed: Lower Bald Eagle, Loyalsock, Lycoming, Muncy, Nippenose, Pine Creek, and Washington. Today Pine Creek is part of Clinton County and Lower Bald Eagle is part of both Centre and Clinton counties, but the rest are still in Lycoming County, although many other municipalities have been formed from these since.

In the following sections, information is given on each of the counties formed or containing territory from Lycoming County, including name, date of formation, counties from which it was formed, as well as the area, population, and location in Pennsylvania. Each of these other counties was erected from former incorporated areas in the Lycoming County, and where known, there is a list of all townships for each county which were incorporated in or directly formed from townships in Lycoming County, as well as information on the modern successors of these townships today. There are currently twenty two such former townships known.

In 1800, four counties were formed from territory taken from Lycoming and other counties: Centre, Armstrong, Venango, and Warren.

Centre County was formed on February 13 1800 from parts of Lycoming, Mifflin, Northumberland, and Huntingdon Counties{{cite web |url= http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ncpa/Hist-Folk/Counties/Centre/Hist-folk_Centre.html |title= "Centre County: Chronological Township Formation" |accessdate=2007-11-04 |publisher= North Central Pennsylvania }} As of 2000, its population was 135,758 and its area is 1,112 mi² (2,880 km²).

The history of Centre County begins with Bald Eagle Township, which was formed in 1772 as one of the seven original townships in Northumberland County. In August 1785, Washington Township was formed from Bald Eagle, and in November 1785 parts of Bald Eagle Township were added to the newly formed Lycoming and Pine Creek townships (the bulk of their territory had been purchased from the Iroqois in 1784). In May 1786, Bald Eagle Township was split into three new townships: Nippenose, Upper Bald Eagle, and Lower Bald Eagle. In 1789, Mifflin County was formed from Upper Bald Eagle Township and half of Potter Township (itself formed partly from the original Bald Eagle Township in May 1774).{{cite book |last= Bell |first= Herbert C. |title= History of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Including its Aboriginal History; the Colonial and Revolutionary Periods; Early Settlement and Subsequent Growth; Political Organization; Agricultural, Mining, and Manufacturing Interests; Internal Improvements; Religious, Educational, Social, and Military History; Sketches of of its Boroughs, Villages, and Townships; Portraits and Biographies of Pioneers and Representative Citizens etc, etc. |url= ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/northumberland/areahistory/bell0007.txt |accessdate= 2007-11-04 |edition= |series= |date= 1891 |publisher= Brown, Runk & Co.|location= Chicago, Illinois }}
When Lycoming County was formed in 1795, Lower Bald Eagle was one of the original seven townships. Centre County was formed in 1800 from parts of Huntingdon, Lycoming, Mifflin, and Northumberland counties. Centre County originally had eight townships, with two (Lower Bald Eagle and Upper Bald Eagle), taken from Lycoming County. It is not clear if this Upper Bald Eagle was a newly formed township, or some portion of the original not taken when Mifflin County was formed. Some territory from Lower Bald Eagle Township remained in Lycoming County.
In 1801, Centre County renamed "Upper Bald Eagle Township" as "Spring Township" and "Lower Bald Eagle Township" as "Bald Eagle Township". In 1839 Clinton County was formed from Centre and Lycoming counties, with Bald Eagle Township as one of three taken from Centre County. Today neither Centre nor Lycoming counties have a township named "Bald Eagle".

On March 12 1800, three more counties were formed with territory taken partly from Lycoming County: Armstrong, Venango and Warren.

• Armstrong County was formed from parts of Allegheny, Lycoming, and Westmoreland Counties. As of 2000, its population was 72,392 and its area is 664 mi² (1,720 km²). When originally formed, Armstrong County had six townships: Allegheny (now defunct), Buffalo (now defunct), Kittaning, Plum Creek, Red Bank, and Sugar Creek. It is not stated which of these came or were formed from Lycoming County, but geographically Red Bank and the northern part of Plum Creek occupy territory taken from Lycoming County (east of the Allegheny River).

• Venango County was formed from parts of Allegheny and Lycoming Counties. For administrative purposes, it was attached to Crawford County until 1805. As of 2000, its population was 57,565 and its area is 683 mi² (1,769 km²). It originally had at least seven townships: Allegheny, Cherry Tree, Irwin, Richland, Rockland, Scrubgrass, and Sugar Creek. It is not stated which of these came or were formed from Lycoming County, but geographically Richland and Rockland occupy territory taken from Lycoming County (east of the Allegheny River).

• Warren County was formed from parts of Allegheny and Lycoming counties. It was attached to Crawford County until 1805, and then to Venango County until Warren was formally organized in 1819. As of 2000, its population was 43,863 and its area is 898 mi² (2,326 km²). It originally had only one township, Brokenstraw, established by the courts of Crawford County in 1800, which split into twelve in 1819. The half of the county east of the Allegheny River is the territory taken from Lycoming County.

When originally formed in 1803, Shrewsbury Township encompassed all of modern Sullivan County. Elkland Township was formed from Shrewsbury in 1804, as were Cherry (1824), Davidson and Forks Townships (both 1833). Plunketts Creek Township was formed from Franklin and Davidson Townships in 1838, and Fox Township was formed from Elkland in 1839. When Sullivan County was formed in 1847, both Shrewsbury and Plunketts Creek Townships were split, with each county originally having a township of that name (Plunketts Creek Township in Sullivan County changed its name to Hillsgrove Township in 1856).
