The east boundary line of this township is Kittatinny Mountain and the west boundary Tuscarora Mountain.  Its territory was taken from the south end of Fannett township.  Its general topography is mountainous, but the narrow valley running its entire length has some excellent soil.  Its great wealth lies in the minerals it contains.  It was to express this in a manner that the name "Metal" was given it.  The early settlers were Scotch-Irish, and were strong in the Calvinistic faith.
