Title Newtown Historic Association maps, blueprints, and plans collection Call number 14 Date circa 1800-2007 Extent 5 linear feet General Physical Approximately 300 maps Description note Language English Abstract Newtown, the county seat of Bucks County from 1726 to 1813, is one of the most historic areas in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The Newtown Historic Association maps, blueprints, and plans collection, circa 1800-2007, consists of various maps, blueprints, and plans of Newtown (Bucks County, Pennsylvania) and surrounding areas, and includes originals as well as copies and reproductions. - Page 3 - Newtown Historic Association maps, blueprints, and plans collection Biography/History Newtown traces its roots back to William Penn, who purchased 5,000 acres (20 km2) from the Lenni Lenape Indians in 1683. Situated where the Neshaminy River and the Newtown Creek meet, Penn named this land my "New Town," which gradually evolved to Newtown. According to tradition, Penn had his surveyor Thomas Holme lay out Newtown in a fan shape of 16 tracts radiating out from a central square or common. Each land owner received a town lot of 20 to 50 acres that bordered on the common and a much larger country lot that ran from the town lot to the edge of the township. Newtown developed and prospered as an agricultural, industrial and trade center. Excellent examples of most styles of architecture can be seen in its buildings and structures. Newtown served as the County Seat of Bucks County from 1726 until 1813, when the Court was moved to Doylestown. In 1838, the area comprising the commercial center, plus a number of homes, was incorporated into Newtown Borough. The Borough was enlarged four times since 1838 and now includes 640 acres. Today, Newtown Township surrounds Newtown Borough and each has its own form of government. Newtown Borough is governed by a Mayor and a six member Borough Council, who are elected to serve four year terms. Newtown Township is governed by a five member Board of Supervisors; members are elected to serve 6 year terms. An historic district was first established in 1969. In 1985, the Historic District was enlarged and added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Newtown still retains the much of its historic character. Bibliography: Borough of Newtown.

  • East Coast Greenway Guide
    Welcome to the East Coast Greenway! The East Coast Greenway is a trail network linking scores of local greenways into a unified, 3000-mile route from Canada to Key West. It spans 15 states and the District of Columbia and connects communities between Maine and Florida. The East Coast Greenway aims to accommodate walkers, cyclists, skaters, skiers, wheelchair users, and equestrians. This urban version of the legendary Appalachian Trail will provide safe, traffic-free transportation, recreation, exercise and tourism opportunities to the 45 million Americans who live near it as well as domestic and international visitors to the region. Over 29% of the route (as of summer 2013) is off-road in the form of over 175 individual trail segments and more segments are coming on-line each year. The remainder of the route is currently on carefully selected, safer roadways. Our ultimate goal is for the East Coast Greenway to be completely off-road so it is safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities to use. East Coast Greenway progress fosters low-cost transport, healthy lifestyles, and a thriving natural environment. The East Coast Greenway Alliance ® (ECGA), based in Durham, North Carolina, spearheads the project in partnership with organizations and agencies at the local, state and national levels. Together, we are creating an American treasure! Dennis Markatos David Read Executive Director Chairman, Board of Trustees The East Coast Greenway in Pennsylvania The East Coast Greenway stretches for 55 miles across Pennsylvania, This guide allows users to easily follow the current ECG travel route passing through the City of Philadelphia and connecting urban, rural through Pennsylvania.

  • Southampton Railroad Station Society
    SOUTHAMPTON RAILROAD STATION RESTORATION AND SITE IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL Upper Southampton Township - Bucks County, Pennsylvania Prepared by: SOUTHAMPTON RAILROAD STATION SOCIETY Rev. July 2013 609 Second Street Pike P.O. Box 214 Southampton, PA 18966 www.SRRSS.org Building and Grounds Southampton Railroad Station Society Restoration and Re-use P R O P O S A L Mission Statement The Southampton Railroad Station Society’s (SRRSS) mission is to restore and preserve the Southampton Railroad Station. The restored station will serve as a regional railroad heritage center. The center will function as a meeting space for Upper Southampton Township civic organizations and the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS). Educational programs will be available for local schools. Exhibits will include artifacts from the railroad, books and a functioning semaphore mast located on the station platform. The Southampton Station Railroad Heritage Center will be staffed by SRRSS and NRHS volunteers. The Southampton Station Railroad Heritage Center will be dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in the Bryn Athyn wreck of 1921 which occurred several miles south of Southampton station and adversely impacted many local families. Southampton Station circa 1915 Background The inauguration of the railroad between Philadelphia and Newtown in 1878 was a decisive moment in the development of the Upper Southampton Township. Local farmers abandoned traditional crops for dairy farming now that they had quick access to markets in the city. The village of Southampton, previously little more than a crossroads with a store and post office, developed rapidly. Local residents began to commute to jobs in the city: city dwellers came to the "country" to stay in a nearby hotel ("The White Hotel") or board with local families.
