About

Orange Township is the most centrally located of the divisions of Columbia County north of the Susquehanna River and is watered by Fishing Creek and its branch, Green Creek. Knob Mountain rises on the east of Fishing Creek and continues for many miles to the east. It is one of the highest of the elevations in Columbia County.

​

Orange was formed in 1840 from portions of Bloom, Fishingcreek and Mount Pleasant Townships. Previous to that, Bloomsburg was the voting place for the Orange election district.
