East Wheatfield Township is a township in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, United States. East Wheatfield Township was created when the original Wheatfield Township (formed in 1779) was divided in 1859 into East and West Wheatfield. It was named for the large unforested areas naturally occurring there which were ideal for growing wheat. The population was 2,161 at the 2020 census,[2] a decline from the figure of 2,366 tabulated in 2010. It includes the communities of Boltz, Cramer, Gas Center, Ninevah, Robindale, Shoupstown, Virginia, and Wheatfield.[3] It surrounds, but does not include, the borough of Armagh.
