Hereford is a census-designated place[3] that is located in Hereford Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States.
A post office called Hereford was in operation from 1830 to 2019.[4] The community took its name from Hereford Township.[5] It was previously known as Treichlersville.[6]
At the end of March 2019 the post office closed on very short notice because the owner refused to renew the lease.[7] The post office has since moved from the same building as Turkey Hill to the fire station building.
