The U.S. Geological Survey records Bala as a populated place. Its GNIS reference point is listed under the county label Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on the Philadelphia map. This identifies a geographic reference point, not the full community boundary, current administrative boundaries, or its legal incorporation status. Use the locality and county references below when checking an address or distinguishing similarly named places.
