Northampton Township was always a farming community, with just a few settlements near crossroads or mills. Not until the late 1800’s, did the villages of Richboro and Churchville grow, as retired farmers decided to build homes “in town.”

Life was never dull for them or their counterparts on the farm. Activities, some of which are just memories now, were big political parades and Memorial Day parades to the local cemetery, church and school picnics, serenades of banging pots and pans at the homes of newlyweds, carnivals and dinners at the firehouse, chautauguas when people gathered to enjoy plays, reading poetry, and listen to and partake in discussions, and of course, the trips to and competition in the county fairs. Today, many landmarks have changed or disappeared, and new activities have replaced the old.

The Northampton Historical Commission hopes you will enjoy a peek into the past and the present of a rapidly growing community. We endeavored to give a personalized history of the area in which you live. We thank the many people, as well as the Bucks County Historical Commission, who supplied us with photographs and local information.
