The Lenn-Lenape Indians (meaning “original people’) lived in the area, seasonally, in villages along rivers and streams. Known as a peaceful farming and fishing tribe, they traded freely with settlers on their arrival in the 17th century. William Penn met the Indian Chiefs of the Delaware Nation on the land where Hilltown Village now sits. In those days, it was known as the "Perkasie Indian Town." Settlers, mostly Welsh Baptist, with the few Hugenots and English Quakers arrived in approximately 1700. They petitioned the King's Governor to establish a town in 1721. The Old Bethlehem Road (the Minsi Indian Trail), now called Hilltown Pike, was used from the year 1683 to travel from Philadelphia to the Durham iron mines.
