Bristol

Bristol is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania that is just 23 miles northeast of Center City Philadelphia. Named after Bristol, England, Bristol Borough predates Philadelphia, being settled in 1681 and first incorporated in 1720. Samuel Clift founded the Borough of Bristol, having received a land grant from Edmund Andros, Governor of New York. Clift was required by the grant to maintain ferry service across the Delaware River to Burlington, New Jersey, and to run a public house or inn. The inn later became known as the George II. A canal between Bristol and Easton, Pennsylvania, was built for the transportation of anthracite coal to deeper areas of the Delaware River and stimulated economic growth for the community between 1827 and 1931. The canal was sixty miles long, forty feet wide, and five feet deep. One of Bristol’s parks is located at the lagoon of this former canal, near the former Grundy Woolen Mill and its iconic clock tower. This mill is one of the most visible signs of the town’s importance during the Industrial Revolution. Bristol’s industrial prominence emerged following the American Civil War when an organization built factories and encouraged manufacturers to locate within the town. The first of the larger manufacturers was the Grundy Woolen Mill, which began production in 1876. The river, canal, and railroad were crucial to the shipping of both raw materials and finished goods.
