Hereford is a census-designated place^[1] in Hereford Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The community lies at the intersection of Pennsylvania Routes 29 and 100, which connect it to East Greenville and to Pottstown, respectively to the south. They continue north on Chestnut Street to Shimerville in Lehigh County, where 29 continues toward Allentown.^[2] The Perkiomen Creek flows south through Hereford to the Schuylkill River. As of the 2010 census, the population was 930 residents.^[3]

History[]

A post office called Hereford was in operation from 1830 to 2019.^[4] The community took its name from Hereford Township.^[5] It was previously known as Treichlersville.^[6] At the end of March 2019 the post office closed on very short notice because the owner refused to renew the lease.^[7] Hereford residents may still use "Hereford, PA 18056" as part of their legal addresses while a new permanent site for a post office is sought.
