Leinbachs is an unincorporated community that is located in southern Bern Township, Pennsylvania, United States, just northwest of Reading and the Reading Regional Airport. It is also located near Blue Marsh Lake.
Leinbachs' proximity to these locations has given it significant growth in recent years, including the construction of a suburban development, warehouses, and other enterprises.
The town derived its name, "Leinbachs," from the location of a tavern that was owned by a family named Leinbach. During the 1800s, it served as a crossroads stagecoach stop, post office, general store and local tavern. The tavern was later restored and converted into a private residence that still stands today.
