Creamery is a historic village which lies within Skippack Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. This village, along with others in the area, is renowned for its historic value.

The history of Creamery Village stretches back to the early 19th century when Skippack Township contained three growing towns; Skippack Village, Harmony Square (Creamery), and Lucon (formerly Amityville).

The town of Harmony Square is centrally located within Skippack Township. Around 1864, the four major farmers of the area; Hunsicker, Bean, Detweiler, and Tyson (prior owner of the Allebach-Cholet farm) came together to build a creamery. A creamery is a building used for turning raw milk into butter, usually for sale as a business venture. They built this creamery in the center of Harmony Square in between all four farms. The building still stands, although very much renovated, at 1117 Bridge Road (Route 113) next to the Creamery Post Office.

Around 1880, John Isaac Bean began to form a post office. After submitting the name Harmony Square to the US Postal Service, it was rejected in order to avoid confusion with Harmony of Butler County. (note: The town of Lucon, where Lucon Road meets Skippack Pike, was once named Amityville. It was changed to Lucon since an Amityville already exists in Berks County).

Bean held a town meeting to come up with a new name. The name “Creamery” was chosen because the residents felt the local creamery showed strength and companionship among the residents of Harmony Square. Between 1880 and the early 1930’s, Creamery was extremely prosperous. It consisted of a Grange Hall, Shoe cobbler, Blacksmith, Tinsmith, and the largest creamery within miles. However, the construction of Graterford State Penitentiary in the 1920s was about to greatly affect the village. The creamery closed around 1938 due to the fact that the prison put half of the local dairy farmers out of business after their farms were condemned.

The greatest historical loss in Creamery occurred on March 3, 2011 when the old general store/post office caught fire. This large building, no doubt an old colonial farmhouse with many additions added over time, was previously known as Bean’s or Hunsicker’s General Store. In later years it was Cork’s Corner Appliances and finally an antique store named Kay’s White Elephant. The building was eventually torn down, and as of 2025 slated for six townhomes.

The Creamery area is now home to over 4,000 people. At the time of this writing (2025), it is home to US Post Office 19430, Creamery Tire, Dave’s Garage (a private car museum that was formerly Yocum machine shop and before that Isaac B. Kulp Farmall dealership), Skippack Beverage, Skippack Elementary School, the Montgomery County 4-H Center, Metz Bus Company, Palmer Park, and the Allebach-Cholet Farm (maintained by SHS as the Skippack Farm Museum).
