Beckersville is a rural village located in the western portion of Robeson Township, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The village sits upon Pennsylvania Route 10, and next to Interstate 176, which spans from Morgantown to northeastern Cumru Township, just outside Reading.

The town was named after Joseph Becker, a German carpenter, who built and ran a hotel in the settlement in 1827.[1]
