BUCKS COUNTY:Bucks County is part of the greater metropolitan area, which is part of a larger economic and geographic entity known as the Delaware Valley, extending from Trenton, New Jersey at the north to Wilmington, Delaware to the south. Much of the beauty of the countryside still prevails in rolling hills and farmlands. Bucks County is well known for tourism, business, and is an economic hub of the region. Now home to more than 628,000 people, Bucks County maintains the integrity of its lively past by protecting its historic resources. Today, the past, present, and future, blend beautifully throughout the county's 608 square miles filled with an array of parks, quality housing, cultural and recreational facilities, quaint boutiques, modern shopping malls, industrial complexes, and much, much more. Located strategically in the Northeast Corridor, Bucks County is accessible to nearly every kind of transportation network available, with Philadelphia as its nucleus. (New York City is only 75 miles; Baltimore, 120 miles; Washington DC, 158 miles; and Boston, 288 miles.) One third of the nation's population resides within a one-day drive of Bucks County, making it a prime location for the transport of goods and services not only throughout the Eastern Seaboard, but also the western part of Pennsylvania. |
