Its southern third, between Philadelphia and<br \/>\nTrenton and often called Lower Bucks, lies in the Atlantic Coastal Plain: flat, near sea level,<br \/>\nand the county&#8217;s most populated and industrialized stretch. The rest of the county, Upper<br \/>\nand Central Bucks, sits in the Piedmont, rolling farmland cut by streams that drain toward the<br \/>\nDelaware. The Delaware River forms the county&#8217;s entire eastern border. Its two largest<br \/>\ntributaries inside the county are Tohickon Creek, which empties into the Delaware at Point<br \/>\nPleasant, and Neshaminy Creek, which empties into it at Croydon in Bristol Township.<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery County lies about 15 miles to the west, Philadelphia about 24 miles to the south,<br \/>\nNorthampton County about 30 miles to the northwest, and Lehigh County also about 30 miles to the<br \/>\nnorthwest. Across the Delaware River, four New Jersey counties border Bucks by water and bridge:<br \/>\nWarren to the north, Hunterdon and Mercer to the east, and Burlington to the southeast. <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/montgomery-county-pennsylvania\/\">Montgomery County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/philadelphia-county\/\">Philadelphia County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/northampton-county-pennsylvania\/\">Northampton County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/lehigh-county\/\">Lehigh County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/warren-county-new-jersey\/\">Warren County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/hunterdon-county\/\">Hunterdon County<\/a>, <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/mercer-county-new-jersey\/\">Mercer County<\/a> and <a\nhref=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/burlington-county\/\">Burlington County<\/a> all border Bucks<br \/>\ndirectly.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Bucks County had a population of 646,538 at the 2020 census, the fourth-highest of<br \/>\nPennsylvania&#8217;s 67 counties, and the latest estimate puts it near 647,828 residents.<br \/>\nBensalem Township (62,707) and Bristol Township (54,291) are the two largest communities,<br \/>\ntogether holding about 18 percent of the county&#8217;s population. Population density works out<br \/>\nto roughly 1,070 people per square mile of land, among the five most densely populated counties<br \/>\nin Pennsylvania. Median household income, weighted across the county&#8217;s ZIP codes, runs<br \/>\nabout $118,603, well above Pennsylvania&#8217;s statewide median of $73,824. Income varies sharply<br \/>\nwithin the county: the wealthiest ZIP, 18977 (Washington Crossing), has a median of $211,719,<br \/>\nwhile the poorest, 19007 (Bristol), sits at $65,511 &mdash; a more than threefold gap between<br \/>\nplaces 12 miles apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Bucks County&#8217;s economy runs from heavy industry along the Delaware to biotechnology<br \/>\nresearch in its center. Rohm and Haas operates chemical plants around Bristol, a legacy of the<br \/>\nborough&#8217;s and Morrisville&#8217;s roles as industrial centers on the Northeast Corridor<br \/>\nduring World War II. Waste Management runs a landfill in Tullytown that is the largest single<br \/>\nreceptacle of out-of-state waste in the United States, taking much of New York City&#8217;s trash<br \/>\nsince the 1990s closure of the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. Bensalem Township is home to<br \/>\nParx Casino and Racing, a thoroughbred track and casino built on the former Philadelphia Park<br \/>\nRacetrack grounds. The Greater Philadelphia region, with Bucks as a growing share of it, ranks<br \/>\namong the top ten U.S. biotech and biopharma clusters, and the county&#8217;s life-sciences sector<br \/>\nhas expanded alongside neighboring Montgomery County&#8217;s. Doylestown holds Bucks County<br \/>\nCommunity College and three concrete buildings designed by tile-maker Henry Chapman Mercer: the<br \/>\nMercer Museum, Fonthill, and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. New Hope hosts the Bucks County<br \/>\nPlayhouse and the New Hope Railroad, a heritage tourist line. Peddler&#8217;s Village, in the<br \/>\nunincorporated community of Lahaska, has held its Strawberry Festival every May since 1969,<br \/>\nalongside a Grand Illumination lighting event each November.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>William Penn created Bucks County in November 1682 as one of Pennsylvania&#8217;s three<br \/>\noriginal counties, naming it after Buckinghamshire, the English county where he had lived. Penn<br \/>\nbuilt his country estate, Pennsbury Manor, in what is now Falls Township. Several Bucks County<br \/>\nplace names trace directly to Buckinghamshire: Buckingham Township, named for that county&#8217;s<br \/>\nformer county town; Chalfont, named for Chalfont St Giles, where Penn is buried; Solebury, named<br \/>\nfor Soulbury; and Wycombe, named for High Wycombe. Bucks County was originally much larger than<br \/>\ntoday &mdash; Northampton County split off in 1752, and Lehigh County split off from Northampton<br \/>\nin 1812.<\/p>\n<p>George Washington and his troops camped in Bucks County in late December 1776 while preparing<br \/>\nto cross the Delaware River and attack Hessian forces at Trenton. The crossing, on the night of<br \/>\nDecember 25&ndash;26, 1776, was a turning point in the Revolutionary War, and the community of<br \/>\nWashington Crossing and Washington Crossing Historic Park now mark the site.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 95 and Interstate 276, the Pennsylvania Turnpike&#8217;s northeast extension, both<br \/>\ncross southern Bucks County, along with I-295 and I-476.
