1966 Map of Langhorne

About this map

Neshaminy Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, separating the established boroughs of Newtown and Langhorne from the rapid mid-century suburban expansion to the south. This era shows the massive footprint of Levittown beginning to dominate the southeast, contrasting with the institutional grounds of the Eastern State Sch and Hosp and the Bucks County Community College. The map captures a high-speed chapter of local history with the Langhorne Speedway located near the Penn Central tracks and the Drive-in Theater. Older Quaker roots are still visible at the Middletown Meetinghouse, while the burgeoning transportation network is evidenced by the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the complex interchanges around Trevose. From the dense residential grids of Penndel to the open land near Woodside, the map documents a county in the midst of a significant residential and industrial transition.
