The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusBridgeton Township is a township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,234 at the 2020 census. The township was originally a part of adjacent Nockamixon Township, but a division was arranged and signed on May 24, 1890. This accord split an area of Nockamixon which ran west from the banks of the Delaware River to approximately one third the breadth of the original township. This smaller area was named "Bridgeton", since it was the site of Upper Black Eddy–Milford Bridge covered wooden truss bridge built in 1842, which connected the towns of Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania and Milford, New Jersey. The original covered bridge was replaced by a truss bridge in 1933...
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 1,277 to 1,234 (-3%). Half of its homes were built before 1961.
