North Beaver Township is a township in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,959 at the 2020 census,[5] a decline from the figure of 4,121 tabulated in 2010.[6]

The Slovene National Benefit Society applied to have their 500-acre (200 ha) recreation center in North Beaver Township designated as a separate municipality in 1977. The S.N.P.J. borough was created so that the society could, among other things, get their own liquor license,[7] for North Beaver Township restricts the sale of alcohol.
