East Fork Road District was a sui generis municipality in Potter County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 14 at the 2000 census. On January 1, 2004, the district was dissolved and the area merged with Wharton Township.
The vast majority of the district was located within the Susquehannock State Forest, with only a narrow strip of property along East Fork Road being privately owned. East Fork was the only municipal division of its kind in Pennsylvania; comparable in geographic size to the townships of Potter County, but its encapsulation preventing it from normal growth. Its extremely low population prevented it from having the full municipal government of a Second Class Pennsylvania township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the district had a total area of 132.2 km² (51.0 mi²), all land. Its name came from the East Fork of the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and the road that ran along it.
East Fork was bordered by Summit Township to the north and west, West Branch Township to the north, Abbott and Stewardson Townships to the east, Clinton County to the south and Wharton Township to the west.
As of the census of 2000, there were 14 people, 7 households, and 5 families residing in the district. The population density was 0.1/km² (0.3/mi²). There were 152 housing units at an average density of 1.1/km² (3.0/mi²); thus, East Fork had more than twenty times as many housing units as it did households to use them. The racial makeup of the district was entirely white.
