The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Blythe Township is a township in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Formed in 1846 from part of Schuylkill Township, it is named for State Legislator Calvin Blythe.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 924 to 811 (-12%). Half of its homes were built before 1938.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Blythe yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.
