~ Warrington

Warrington was organized in 1734. Warrington is the upper of the three rectangular townships that border the Montgomery county line. When Holme's map was published, there were but four land-owners in the township, none of which lived there, Richard Ingolo, R. Sneed, Charles Jones, Jr., and R. Vickers. In the will of William Penn, ten thousand acres in the county were devised to his grandson, William Penn, jr., of which one thousand four hundred and seventeen acres lay in Warrington.Landowners on an old Southampton, Warminster and Warrington map were: Andrew Long, J. Paul, Lukens, Jones, R. Miller, T. Pritchard, the London company, the Proprietary's, Charles Tenant, Nailor, and William Allen.There are no villages but several hamlets of about half a dozen houses, each, namely: Warrington, Neshaminy, Tradesville and Pleasantville.

The Almshouse - Neshaminy Manor -

  Warrington is taking the first step by identifying 80 buildings for historic recognition.

	The building that now houses the law firm of Randolph Scott Associates dates back to 1808.
	The Hatboro Federal Savings Bank building was once home to leading township citizen John Barclay in 1799.
	And the history of the McNaney farmhouse on Folly Road can be traced back to 1810.

The supervisors and the Warrington Township Historic Commission and commission chairman Thomas Mackin, would like to make sure that does not happen. The commission, created less than two years ago, is in the process of identifying 80 buildings for historic recognition.³

FROG HOLLOW Name given to a portion of Little Neshaminy valley in southwestern Warrington Twp, in which there ware several houses and a hotel. The power house of the former willow Grove and Doylestown trolley line of the Philadelphia Rapid transit Company was located there near the stone arch bridge on Doylestown and willow Grove Turnpike Road (Route 611). This bridge was built in 1821 and replaced another bridge erected before 1795. The Frog Hollow Hotel is one of the old inns of the county. For many years its landlord was Mahlon Keller, a brother of County Commissioner Samuel Keller. The valley at this point is sometimes known as Paul Valley, from a family who owned much property there, but the popular name of Frog Hollow still clings to the place. A colored resident, asked how the place came by its name, replied: "Dunno huccom, but , Man Alive, dem frawgs, dey sho' do hollah nites."3 Reminiscences of Frog Hollow TRADESVILLE Since 1854 at the intersection of Bristol and Lower State Roads. Partly in Warrington and Doylestown. Once known as Stuckerts Corner. 4	EUREKA Once known as Pleasantville, where Lower State Road meets Limekiln Pike. The village store, post office and hotel closed long ago (the buildings are still there). The church, organized in 1840 still thrives.3 NESHAMINY Where Easton Road (611) and Street Road (132) meet, originally known as Warrington Square. The name was changed to Neshaminy at the coming of the post office in 1864. 3

From unbroken wilderness grew small clusters of families forming villages. Warrington consisted of four villages: Warrington, Neshaminy, Pleasantville, and Tradesville. Press Release
