Bucks County with its attractive rolling fields andwooded areas has attracted a diversity of people tosettle within its boundaries.

The Lenn-Lenape Indians (meaning “originalpeople’) lived in the area, seasonally, in villagesalong rivers and streams. Known as a peacefulfarming and fishing tribe, they traded freely withsettlers on their arrival in the 17th century.

William Penn met the Indian Chiefs of theDelaware Nation on the land where HilltownVillage now sits. In those days, it was known as the"Perkasie Indian Town." Settlers, mostly WelshBaptist, with the few Hugenots and EnglishQuakers arrived in approximately 1700. Theypetitioned the King's Governor to establish a townin 1721. The Old Bethlehem Road (the MinsiIndian Trail), now called Hilltown Pike, was usedfrom the year 1683 to travel from Philadelphia tothe Durham iron mines.
