BRIDGETON
|
BRIDGETON was a division of Nockamixon Township and became a township in 1890.
Named for the arch and truss wooden bridge over the river between Upper Black Eddy, PA., and Milford, NJ - the last one to remain intact.2
|
| Nockamixon, the
township, may be described as lying in northeastern Bucks County,
touching Delaware River at the Narrows, bounded northwest by
Springfield and Durham Townships, southeast by Tinicum Township,,
southwest by Haycock Township. Haycock Run and Tohickon
Creek form the southwest boundary line. When Bridgeton
Township was raised in 1890, Nockamixon lost a third of its
territory. |
Keep in mnd that Bridgeton was formed out of
Nockamixon in 1890 so any research prior to 1890 would be
found under Nockamixon Township.
