McNett Township is a township in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 145 at the 2020 census, [3] down from 174 in 2010. It is part of the Williamsport Metropolitan Statistical Area.
McNett Township, in the northeastern corner of Lycoming County, was formed by the county Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace on February 10, 1878, from McIntyre Township. The formation was a result of a successful petition and election by the citizens of the northeastern corner of Lycoming County who were under the leadership of H. I. McNett, for whom the township was named. [4]
McNett Township has always been a remote portion of Pennsylvania. Farming and industry is at a minimum. Most of the land is mountainous and is covered with a thriving second growth forest. The population which was 619 persons in the 1890 census had fallen to just 174 at the 2010 census.
McNett Township occupies the northeastern corner of Lycoming County. It is bordered by Tioga County to the northwest, Bradford County to the northeast, and Sullivan County to the east. Within Lycoming County, Plunketts Creek township is to the southeast, Cascade Township is to the south, and McIntyre Township is to the southwest. The township's northwestern boundary, with Tioga County, follows Lycoming Creek, a southwestward-flowing tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River. No state highways pass through the township, although Pennsylvania Route 14 runs up the Lycoming Creek valley on the Tioga County side of the stream. Williamsport, the Lycoming county seat, is 33 miles (53 km) to the southwest via PA-14 and U.S. Route 15.
According to the United States Census Bureau, McNett Township has a total area of 33.9 square miles (87.8 km2), of which 33.6 square miles (86.9 km2) are land and 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2), or 1.09%, are water. [1] While most of the township is part of the Lycoming Creek watershed, the far southeastern corner of the township drains to Loyalsock Creek, a tributary of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, while the northeastern corner drains to Towanda Creek, a tributary of the main stem of the Susquehanna.
