From Lansdale porches to Norristown storefronts, professionally installed awnings make life in Montgomery County more comfortable and more efficient. Hot summer sun, glare through big front windows, fading patio furniture, and rain-soaked entryways are everyday headaches here. Quality awnings add shade where you actually use it—over decks, patios, shopfronts, and walkways—so families can enjoy more outdoor time and businesses can welcome customers in any weather. They can also help cut cooling costs by blocking heat before it reaches your glass. Our awning solutions are designed around Montco’s mix of historic homes, Main Street storefronts, and newer suburbs, with options that respect local architecture while adding fresh curb appeal. Durable fabrics, strong hardware, and expert installation mean your awning looks great and works hard for years.
History of Montgomery County, PA
Montgomery County was officially created on September 10, 1784, carved out of the northern portion of Philadelphia County and named for Revolutionary War General Richard Montgomery (or possibly the Welsh county of Montgomeryshire). Long before European settlement, the area was home to the Lenni Lenape, an Algonquian-speaking people who lived in villages near local rivers and creeks. In 1681, William Penn encouraged settlers to organize into townships; early communities like Cheltenham (1683), Plymouth (1701), Abington (1702), Whitemarsh (1704), and Lower Merion (1714) grew up close to the port of Philadelphia. Norristown, now the county seat, was laid out in 1784 and incorporated as a borough in 1814. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, Montco developed prosperous farms, mills, and early industry tied tightly to Philadelphia’s markets and ports. With canals, railroads, and later highways such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the county evolved into a classic inner-ring suburb. Today, Montgomery County is one of Pennsylvania’s most populous counties, blending historic towns, college communities, and corporate centers in places like King of Prussia, Blue Bell, and Horsham. You can explore more about the county on the official Montgomery County government website and the Wikipedia entry for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
