It was named after a flouring mill that was located near the original townsite. Today, Flourtown consists of mostly old homes that were built during Colonial times. The only commercial activity going on in the CDP is done by a few antique shops. As of the 2010 census, Flourtown has a population of 4,538 people and a total area of 1.4 square miles.

Springfield Township High School was first established in 1924 as a high school for juniors and seniors in the area.

In 1954, the construction for the current high school on Paper Mill Road was completed.
