Alsace Township is a township in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,848 at the 2020 census. Alsace Township was established on March 3, 1745, following a petition to the Pennsylvania Court of Quarter Sessions. The township was given its name in deference to the original settlers, who came from Alsace, German Empire in present-day France. The township's settlers were predominantly industrious farmers and millers. Large areas of land were cleared for agricultural production, streams were harnessed for milling, and churches were built for spiritual and social needs.
