Polk Township is a peaceful, rural municipality located in the southwestern corner of Monroe County, Pennsylvania, where the Pocono Mountains begin to soften into the rolling hills of the Lehigh Valley. With its blend of forested ridges, open farmland, and historic hamlets, Polk offers a quiet, grounded sense of place rooted in Appalachian heritage.
Polk Township is a place where quiet resilience and natural heritage define daily life. Itâs less commercialized than eastern Monroe County, offering a slower pace and stronger connection to land, legacy, and community. Its villagesâespecially Kresgevilleâserve as cultural anchors, with local events and civic pride shaping its identity.
Short-term rentals in Polk Township are not allowed in residential R-1 Zoned areas. STR is allowed in other zoning districts with a license and inspection. See Short-term Rental Changes in Polk Township. See Polk Townshipâs STR Ordinance and permit application below.
