The first settlements in Derry township were created by soldiers from Forbes' army in 1762. It was named after the city of Derry by Scots-Irish settlers. As of the 2020 census, the township population was 13,631. It surrounds the borough of Derry, which is a separate municipality. This area (Virginia Farms), has a rich history dating back to colonial settlement, and along the former surface, foundations as well as a small bridge crossing a creek can still be seen.Derry Township is a township in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States. A small parking spot next to the gate provides easy access, and the remaining surface is well intact, running all the way to the Conemaugh River, at the former site of Fillmore, on the opposite side from Livermore. Remnants of this section, before Newport Road, can still be seen at the Virginia Farms tract, which is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, and leased to the Game Commission for public use. Before the construction of the Conemaugh Dam, PA 982 used to occupy Livermore Road, across from its current terminus, and continued on, crossing the Conemaugh River at Livermore, and connecting with PA 217 a few miles north in Indiana County. PA 982 then ends at US 22 and US 119 near the borough of Blairsville. The route runs along the eastern end of the city of Latrobe and through McChesneytown. The route then passes through the borough of Youngstown, and then meets US 30 at a cloverleaf interchange. The route intersects PA 130 about two miles (3 km) southeast of Pleasant Unity, where it is briefly concurrent with PA 130 as the route heads north and east through the village of Lycippus. The route continues into rural Westmoreland County, crossing the Pennsylvania Turnpike ( I-70/ I-76) without access. From there, it runs northeast across rural Fayette County, meeting PA 31 at the Fayette/ Westmoreland county line.
