Montgomery County is a large, prosperous suburban county northwest of Philadelphia, the third most populous in the state. Norristown is the county seat.
Valley Forge sits here, where Washington's army camped through the brutal winter of 1777 to 1778, now a national historical park of rolling fields and monuments. King of Prussia adds one of the largest shopping malls in the country.
The county mixes old stone farmhouses, leafy townships, and a steady belt of corporate offices along its highways.
Only about 3% of homes in the Philadelphia metro area, which includes Montgomery County, heat with oil. If you do, comparing local quotes still pays off.
