About Pennsylvania’s 148th Legislative District

Pennsylvania’s 148th House District is a vibrant community in Montgomery County, including parts of Lower Merion Township, all of Narberth Borough, and all of Whitemarsh Township. Home to about 63,500 residents, the district blends close knit neighborhoods, strong civic life, and convenient access to the broader Philadelphia region.

The district is anchored by three thriving municipalities:

Lower Merion Township is the district’s largest community and includes a mix of established neighborhoods and active civic organizations. It also offers extensive parks and recreation amenities through a large township park system that supports both active and passive use.

Narberth Borough is a small, walkable borough just outside Philadelphia on the Main Line, known for its small town character, local businesses, and strong tradition of civic engagement.

Whitemarsh Township combines residential neighborhoods with community facilities and public resources, including the William Jeanes Memorial Library, which serves as a major hub for learning and community programming.

Residents of the 148th District are served by two public school districts:

Lower Merion School District serves Lower Merion Township and Narberth, and highlights a long standing tradition of achievement, innovation, and community partnership.
