Dallas Township shares the Dallas School District and includes the village of Kunkle. U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan is from the township.
The southern end, closer to Dallas Borough, is densely built suburban neighborhoods. The northern end opens into farmland and forest. That split gives the market range, from established subdivisions near the college to acreage and country properties farther out, all inside the Dallas School District northwest of Wilkes-Barre.
