History of Bucks County, PA
One of the three original counties established by William Penn in 1682, Bucks County has deep roots in American history. The area played a critical role in the Revolutionary War, most famously as the staging ground for George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River at Washington Crossing Historic Park.
Charming towns like New Hope, Doylestown, and Yardley still carry the spirit of early America, with preserved architecture, art galleries, museums, and cultural events that keep history alive for residents and visitors alike.
For many seniors who have lived in the area for decades, the connection to Bucks County’s rich past is personal. Neighborly Home Care supports aging in place by helping seniors remain part of the communities they know and love.
