The population was 2,483 at the 2020 census. The township derives its name as an older variant spelling of Fanad, County Donegal, from early Irish settlement in the area. It was formed before 1762, and until about 1795 included the area now in Metal Township. Fannett Township is the northernmost township in Franklin County. It is bordered to the west by Huntingdon County, to the north by Juniata County, to the northeast by Perry County, and to the east by Cumberland County. The township is in the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachian Mountains: Tuscarora Mountain forms the western boundary of the township, and the eastern boundary follows the crest of Kittatinny Mountain (known as Sherman Mountain to the northeast). Interstate 76, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, crosses the southeastern part of the township, but with no direct access. The turnpike enters the township from the east via the Kittatinny Mountain Tunnel. Unincorporated communities in the township include Spring Run in the southwest, Dry Run in the west-central area, Doylesburg in the center, and Concord in the north, all along Pennsylvania Route 75. Amberson is in the eastern part of the township, in the Amberson Valley between Rising Mountain to the northwest and Kittatinny Mountain to the southeast. The southern half of the township is drained by the West Branch of Conococheague Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, while the northern half is drained by the Narrows Branch of Tuscarora Creek, a tributary of the Juniata River and part of the Susquehanna River watershed..Franklin County is a county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
