Established as protected park space in 1905 for the preservation of surrounding land, Pennypack Park is now comprised of roughly 1400 acres of woodlands, meadows, and marshland. It is also home to one of the oldest stone bridges still in use in the United States- the Holmesburg Bridge erected in 1697. Pennypack Park offers a green retreat for visitors amidst an urban setting, and is home to miles of paved and unpaved trails, recreational and athletic facilities, and important operational structures such as Fox Chase Farm and the Pennypack Environmental Education and Visitors Center.

  • Delaware Estuary Water Education Resource Guide

    Delaware Estuary Water Education Resource Guide

    2003 Delaware Estuary water Education Resource Guide A directory for educators that lists materials an d programs available through local non-profit organizations and governmental agencies on topics relating to water resources. SECOND EDITION Brought to you by: Philadelphia Water Department and Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Inc. September, 2002 Dear Friends, The Philadelphia Water Department, with support from the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, has assembled this guide for educators in the region. The booklet is intended to help "get the word out" about all of the exciting materials and programs that address water-related issues in our region and beyond. Even though the Delaware Estuary, the tidal portion of the Delaware River, is our region's most valuable resource, little is taught about it in our schools. It is awesome to think about how the Estuary defines our lives in so many ways: geographically, economically, culturally, historically, and recreationally. In addition, for many of us, it's the source of our drinking water. This guide will help to connect educators with information on local environmental issues and resources. While it is beneficial for students to learn about the endangered species and problems that face the tropical rainforests, it is more important that they know about the watersheds where they live. Students should know that their backyards are vital habitats that, like the rainforests, are also home to many endangered species. We have attempted to make this comprehensive directory a ready reference tool that you will use time and time again. We hope that you find this resource helpful.

    1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township

    1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township Lower Dublin and Upper Dublin Townships were officially established in 1701. Both townships were within Philadelphia County until 1784 when Montgomery County was created, including Upper Dublin Township. In 1816, the Pennsylvania legislature commissioned Philadelphia cartographer John Melish to produce the first detailed map of Philadelphia County. The map was published in 1819 and included a table in the bottom right hand corner with information on each township noting area, population, soil quality and geographic features. Lower Dublin Township (1819 map detail on preceding page) had an area of 9,500 acres (5 mi x 3 mi) – by far the largest township in Philadelphia County – with “gentle declivities”, “sandy loam” soil, and an 1810 population of 2164. Melish also notes the presence of four post offices within Philadelphia County and their distance from the city: Philadelphia (0 miles), Frankford (5 miles), Germantown (6 miles), and Holmesburg (9 miles). In 1819, Fox Chase, Bustle Town (Bustleton), and Holmesburg were Lower Dublin Township’s notable villages. All three grew around inns or public houses. By 1768 there was a Busseltown Tavern from which Bustleton would take its name. The village was located where the Welsh Road intersected the Bustleton-Smithfield Road. (The village of Smithfield – later Somerton - was at the border of Lower Moreland and Byberry Townships at Byberry Road.) Bustleton was the polling place for Lower Dublin Township voters. (In the 1828 Presidential election, the township voted 122 for John Adams and 173 for Andrew Jackson - the national winner.) The Bustleton Pike, like the Bristol Pike, is one of Philadelphia’s earliest roads dating back to circa 1690.
