​

The “Manor “of Perkasie was one of several in Bucks County and contained 11,462 acres.

 

William Penn’s daughter married Thomas Freamer and on November 18, 1735 they granted 200 acres to John Lacey.

 

This tract covers the land from the Branch Creek to about 100 feet of Ridge Road and between Market and Elm Streets.

​

Both the town of Perkasie and Pocasie Creek derive their name from the Lenape Unami phrase Pèhpahkàsink/Poekskossing, which translates to "One who goes to the place to crack nuts".

 

The Dutch/Swedish (before the British settlements) pronounced the word with an r and it stuck.
