A Brief History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania
In the Province of Pennsylvania, Bucks County was one of the first administrative segments into which William Penn divided his land, along with Chester, Montgomery, and Northumberland counties as well as the city/county of Philadelphia. Over the years, Bucks County was divided to create six other Pennsylvania counties – Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton, Schuylkill, and Wayne.
Bucks County played a key role in the fight for American independence in the late 18th Century. Gen. George Washington’s troops left their camp in McKonkey’s Ferry and crossed the Delaware River on the morning of December 26, 1776 on their way to winning the Battle of Trenton against the mercenary Hessian soldiers fighting on the British side of the war. That victory is widely acclaimed as a turning point in the conflict and, as a result, the Bucks County town of Washington Crossing, Pa., and the adjacent Washington Crossing Historic Park were named to commemorate the event.
Many nationally and internationally famous artists and writers have lived and worked, or currently live and work, in Bucks County; quite a few in picturesque stretch that runs from the county seat of Doylestown Borough to New Hope and then along the Delaware River. A partial list of such luminaries includes Pearl S. Buck, Oscar Hammerstein II, Stephen Sondheim, Charlie Parker, Moss Hart, Dorothy Parker, and James Michener, whose novel The Fires of Spring takes place in and around Bucks County.
Three of M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were filmed and take place in Bucks County.

His 2006 film Lady in the Water was shot in Bristol Township and the 2008 film The Happening was produced in Plumstead Township.
