Dublin, Pennsylvania dates back to 1762. Not much is known about the origins of Dublin. An old story is that two farmers got together and built a tavern, but there was a rift between them and one of farmers left the partnership and built another tavern right next door. The small village, as legend has it, became Double Inn and later became Dublin. A more likely origin of the name Dublin is it reflects the Scotch Irish settlers’ desire to name the town after Dublin in Ireland, a tribute to a familiar Old World city.
Although the origins of Dublin and even its name is dubious, its future is not. Dublin is growing by leaps and bound. People are moving to Upper Bucks County because of its proximity to Doylestown, Quakertown and ways to get to New York and Philadelphia. The virtual commute, sped up by COVID 19 makes the small town of Dublin a prime location, being the gateway to both beautiful rural Upper Bucks County and the Poconos.
Coming soon to Dublin to accommodate this amazing growth is a new neighborhood of townhomes called Dublin Crossing, located in the new Dublin Town Center. Dublin Crossing is in walking distance to the bakery, The Novel Baker, for coffee and treats, local shops, dining, and even healthcare. These new townhomes offer upgraded finishes and an exceptional design that maximizes usable space while preserving a sense of style. The townhomes have three floorplans with up to 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus a 1-or 2-car garage. Designed for the way you live today, the homes feature 9-foot main level ceilings, plenty of storage, a garage, and up to 2,285 square feet of living space.
The beginning of the new Dublin is a completely planned revamp of the center of Dublin that keeps it historic character. Town Center has already begun with projects like Dublin Crossing and The Square, which has a variety of business that include quality food and drink, local makers and retailers, health and wellness experts and commercial office space.
The Square is located in a restored factory located in Dublin. This building has once housed a pants factory, then a small business incubator building and now one of Bucks County's finest new community hubs. Aiming to keep the community and small-town feel of Dublin and its surrounding area, the Dublin Town Center investment group seeks to turn this building into a ‘town square” for all to enjoy and use.
Growth means better healthcare and making healthcare more accessible to Dublin is the Grandview Health Outpatient Center, which will provide added convenience to residents in the Dublin and Hilltown communities with a variety of services for the whole family. The Outpatient Center offers same day appointments, modern new physician offices and for services like X-rays and routine lab tests, you’ll be able to walk right in without an appointment.
The center of Dublin is changing and with will be the future of this Upper Bucks County historic town. Whether the town began as a “double inn” or some fondness for Dublin, Ireland, we cannot be certain, but this we do know—the future of Dublin is happening now.
