LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP: “YARDLEY”
Original settlers of the area were William and Jane Yardley, with the land they settled on eventually being called Makefield. The Yardley’s were friends of William Penn. In 1639 a census population of 100 was recorded, with most being farmers. By the 1800’s small villages developed and the Reading Railroad moved into Lower Makefield (1876). Today the township’s 18 square miles include suburban communities, a committed Historic District, and active farms. Lower Makefield is located in the southeastern portion of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The township is adjacent to the west bank of the Delaware River, immediately upstream from the Borough of Morrisville and across the river from Trenton and Mercer County, New Jersey. Additionally, the Township is bordered by Falls Township and Historic Fallsington on the south, Middletown and Newtown Townships on the west, Upper Makefield Township on the north and the small quaint Borough of Yardley on the east. Lower Makefield is approximately 25 miles to Philadelphia and also is convenient to New York City by railway, approximately a 2 hour trip. The township has gently rolling hills, flat farmland, and borders the Delaware River. The township is also accessible to the popular “Canal”, a man made canal meandering throughout the state of Pennsylvania and providing a tow path along its entire route.
