Economic & Business ClimateThe boroughs of Bristol and Morrisville were prominent

industrial centers along the Northeast Corridor during World

War II. Suburban development accelerated in Lower Bucks in

the 1950s with the opening of Levittown, Pennsylvania, the

second such "Levittown" designed by William Levitt.Among

Bucks' largest employers in the twentieth century were U.S.

Steel in Falls Township, and the Vulcanized Rubber & Plastics

and Robertson Tile companies in Morrisville. Rohm and

Haas continues to operate several chemical plants around

Bristol. Waste Management operates a landfill in Tullytown that

is the largest receptacle of out-of-state waste in the USA

(receiving much of New York City's waste following the closure

of Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island, NY 40 miles (64 km)

away).[citation needed]Bucks is also experiencing rapid growth

in biotechnology, along with neighboring Montgomery County.

The Greater Philadelphia area has become the second largest

area of biotechnology in the United States, only behind Boston.

It recently pushed San Francisco and Washington, D.C. to lower

rankings. It is projected by 2020 that one out of four people in

Bucks County will work in biotechnology.

Bucks County is a county located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As

of the 2010 census, the population was 625,249, making it the fourth-most

populous county in Pennsylvania and the 98th-most populous county in the

United States. The county seat is Doylestown. The county is named after

the English county of Buckinghamshire.Bucks County is included in

the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD Metropolitan Statistical

Area, more commonly known as the Delaware Valley. It is located

immediately northeast of Philadelphia and forms part of the southern tip of

the eastern state border.

Bucks County is one of the three original counties created by colonial

proprietor William Penn in 1682. Penn named the county

after Buckinghamshire, the county where he lived in England. Penn built a

country estate calledPennsbury Manor in Falls Township, Bucks

County.Some places in Bucks County were named after locations in

Buckinghamshire, including Buckingham Township, named after the county

town of Buckinghamshire; Chalfont, named after Chalfont St Giles, the

parish home of William Penn's first wife and the location of the Jordans

Quaker Meeting House, where Penn is buried; Solebury Township, named

after Soulbury, England; and Wycombe, named after the town of High

Wycombe.Bucks County was originally much larger than it is

today. Northampton County was formed in 1752 from part of Bucks County,

and Lehigh County was formed in 1812 from part of Northampton

County. The southern third of the county between Philadelphia and Trenton,

New Jersey, often called Lower Bucks, resides in the Atlantic Coastal Plain,

and is flat and near sea level, and the county's most populated and

industrialized area. Bucks County shares a western border with Montgomery

County, and also borders Philadelphia to the southwest,

and Northampton and Lehigh Counties to the north. From north to south, it

is linked to Warren, Hunterdon, Mercer and Burlington Counties in New

Jersey by bridges.Tohickon Creek and Neshaminy Creek are the

largest tributaries of the Delaware in Bucks County. Tohickon Creek empties

into the river at Point Pleasant and Neshaminy at Croydon (Bristol

Township).

Bristol was first settled in 1681 as Buckingham

(for Buckingham, England). It was originally used as a port and dock.

Bristol is rich in history, boasting many historic and restored houses

that line the streets of Radcliffe and Mill.Until 1725 Bristol served as

county seat of Bucks County. From its earliest days Bristol was a

center of milling. With the building of the Delaware Canal and

the Pennsylvania Railroad it became a center of transportation and an

attractive location for industry. By the 1880s Bristol was home to

many factories, including companies manufacturing wall paper and

carpet. In 1917 Averell Harriman organized the Bristol shipyards. The

area around the shipyards was named Harriman. In 1922 Harriman

was annexed by Bristol. During World War II the old shipyards were

used to build airplanes. In 1961, Bristol gained national attention when

the song "Bristol Stomp", by The Dovells hit #2 on the Billboard pop

chart. The song remains a local favorite, and it is often played at

ceremonies, parades, and sporting events.The Bristol Historic

District, Bristol Industrial Historic District, Delaware Division of the

Pennsylvania Canal, Dorrance Mansion, General Stores and Mold Loft

Building-Harriman Yard of the Merchant Shipbuilding

Corporation, Grundy Mill Complex, Harriman Historic District, Jefferson

Avenue School and Jefferson Land Association Historic District are

listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Delaware Division of

the Pennsylvania Canal is also designated a National Historic

Landmark District.

Local Attractions include the Bristol Riverside Theatre, and the

Margaret R. Grundy Library and Museum. In the summer there are

many festivals and free concerts. The cultural festivals include: Celtic

Day, Puerto-Rican Day, African-American Day, and Italian Day (with a

Doo-Wop Concert). There is also an Antique Car Show, Arts & Crafts

Festival, and a Fall Auto Show. All held at the Bristol Lions Park, Bristol

Wharf and in the Historic Mill Street Shopping District by the Delaware

River.Silver Lake Park and Nature Center provides an area of

recreation.
