The village of Shohola was settled in 1772. The 45 square mile township,extending from the Delaware River to Route 6 was formed on September 25, 1852.

While there were only a few farms in the area at first,growth began with the coming of the Erie Railroad in 1848. Seven years later,a bridge was built,replacing the ferry which connected Shohola with Barryville and the Delaware and Hudson Canal.

The first significant industry was lumbering, and by 1900 all of the original forest had been cut down to be used in construction from New York to Philadelphia. After 1870 the quarrying of bluestone for buildings and sidewalks became a major industry.

>On July 15,1864, a mile and a half west of the village of Shohola, a train carrying over 800 Confederate prisoners of war collided with a coal train, causing a loss of over sixty lives. The Shohola community responded with help for those injured in the tragedy.

At the turn of the century, with a one dollar round-trip ticket on the Erie, many tourists came to Shohola Glen,a noted amusement park. Local boarding houses then began attracting large numbers of vacationers each summer.

By 1960 vacation homes and retirement homes were replacing boarding houses, and the following thirty years saw the township population quadruple.

Approximately one-third of Shohola is owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with the Township containing a portion of the Delaware State Forest and sections of three state gamelands.
