Located in southern Bucks County, the Borough of Langhorne is approximately one-half square mile in size. The Borough is surrounded almost entirely by Middletown Township except for a portion of its southern border which it shares with Langhorne Manor Borough. The Neshaminy Creek runs along the Borough’s northern boundary, and separates the Borough from Northampton Township.
The Borough originated at the crossroads of two Lenni Lenape Indian paths in the 17th century. These paths later developed into major Bucks County transportation routes known as Maple Avenue (Route 213), which extends from Philadelphia to Trenton, and Bellevue Avenue (Route 413), which is part of Durham Road that extends from Bristol to Easton. The settlement was first known as Four Lanes End, then Richardson’s Corner, and later as Attleborough from about 1737 to 1876. In 1876, two years after being incorporated, the name of the Borough was changed to Langhorne, after Jeremiah Langhorne, an early resident and former Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
