Population growth [edit]

The 2013 population estimate of Bucks Canton Pennsylvania was 626,976. This ranked the county fourth in the land, well behind (more than than 10%) the counties of Philadelphia with i,553,165 (247% of Bucks), Allegheny with 1,231,527 (196%), Montgomery with 812,376 (130%), and well ahead of Delaware with 561,973 (89.6%).^[2]

Growth began in the early 1950s, when William Levitt chose Bucks County for his 2nd "Levittown". Levitt bought hundreds of acres of woodlands and farmland, and synthetic 17,000 homes and dozens of schools, parks, libraries, and shopping centers. By the time the project ended, the population of Levittown had swelled to almost 74,000 residents. At the fourth dimension, but whites could buy homes. This rule however, was soon overturned. Other planned developments included Croydon and Fairless Hills. This rapid sprawl continued until the mid-1960s.

In the 1970s, a second growth spurt began. This time, developers took country in townships that were mostly untouched. These included Middletown Township, Lower Makefield Township, Northampton Township and Newtown Township. Tract housing, office complexes, shopping centers, and sprawling parking lots continued to move more and more than towards Upper Bucks, swallowing equus caballus farms, sprawling forests, and wetlands. At this time, the Oxford Valley Mall was constructed in Middletown, which would become the business organization nucleus of the county.

Growth has somewhat stabilized since the 1990s, with smaller increases and less development. However, the principal reason for this is not a lack of population growth, but loss of land. Lower Bucks now lacks large parcels of land to develop. Smaller residential and commercial projects must now be constructed. However, redevelopment of existing building sites is at present a leading coalition in Lower Bucks. Many areas along the Delaware River have surpluses of abandoned manufacture, so many municipalities have granted edifice rights to luxury housing developers. Besides, every bit the regions that began the suburban boom in Bucks, such every bit Levittown, begin to reach their 50th anniversaries, many commercial strips and other neglected structures are beingness torn downward to be replaced with new shopping plazas and commercial chains. Also, with rising property values, areas with older construction are undergoing a renaissance. At the same time, Key and Upper Bucks are still seeing rapid growth, with many municipalities doubling their populations.

Economic system [edit]

Levittown, aerial view, circa 1959

The boroughs of Bristol and Morrisville were prominent industrial centers along the Northeast Corridor during World War Ii. Suburban development accelerated in Lower Bucks in the 1950s with the opening of Levittown, Pennsylvania, the second such "Levittown" designed by William Levitt.

Among Bucks' largest employers in the twentieth century were U.S. Steel in Falls Township, and the Vulcanized Safe & Plastics and Robertson Tile companies in Morrisville. Rohm and Haas continues to operate several chemical plants around Bristol. Waste material Management operates a landfill in Tullytown that is the largest receptacle of out-of-state waste material in the USA (receiving much of New York City's waste following the closure of Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island, NY 40 miles (64 km) away).^{[ citation needed ]}

Like most of the Philadelphia suburbs, Bucks County was in one case a stronghold for the Republican Political party. Yet, in recent years it has become more of a swing canton, like Pennsylvania at big. In presidential elections, Bucks has been swept up in the overall Democratic trend that has swept the Philadelphia expanse, although the trend in Bucks has been somewhat less pronounced than in Delaware and Montgomery. It has gone Autonomous in every presidential election since 1992.

Until recently, Republicans still held near local offices. However, after Autonomous gains in the 2018 elections, Republicans hold all but four state firm seats covering portions of the county, while the Democrats and Republicans hold two land senate seats each. The Democrats and Republicans each hold four of the row offices. As in most suburban Philadelphia counties, Republicans tend to be conservative on fiscal matters and moderate on social and environmental matters.

All iv statewide winners (Barack Obama for President, Rob McCord for Treasurer, Jack Wagner for Auditor Full general, and Tom Corbett for Chaser General) carried Bucks in Nov 2008. Earlier in 2008, Democrats took a plurality of registered voters. The GOP statewide candidates in the 2010 midterms, Tom Corbett for Governor and Pat Toomey for Senate, both won Bucks.

Bucks County is represented in U.S. Congress by Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district, (map) formerly numbered every bit the eighth District. While concerns nearly gerrymandering are on the rise, the 1st Commune remains one of the few districts in the United states that is almost fully encompassed past a unmarried county. In social club to comply with population requirements, the Bucks County-dominated 1st Congressional district too includes slightly over 100,000 residents in the Hatboro-Horsham area of Montgomery County.

The executive government is run by a three-seat board of commissioners, one member of which serves as chairperson. Commissioners are elected through at-large voting and serve four-year terms. In cases of vacancy, a console of county judges appoints members to fill seats. The electric current commissioners are Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia (D) (Chairwoman), Robert "Bob" J. Harvie Jr. (D) (Vice-Chairman), and Gene DiGirolamo (R). The current terms expire in January 2024.^[31]

In 2012, 4 canton employees were sentenced for compensating public employees for political work.^[32]

In the 2016 elections, Democrats Hillary Clinton (President), Josh Shapiro (Chaser Full general), and Joe Torsella (Land Treasurer) won Bucks Canton while Republicans Pat Toomey (U.South. Senate), Brian Fitzpatrick (U.S. Representative), and John Brown (Accountant General) won Bucks County in theirs.^[33]

Official seal [edit]

The traditional seal of Bucks County, Pennsylvania takes its design from the inspiration of the county'south founder, William Penn. The center of the seal consists of a shield from the Penn family crest with a tree in a higher place and a flowering vine surrounding information technology in symmetric flanks. The seal has a gold-colored groundwork and a green band cogent Penn as the county's outset proprietor and governor. In 1683, Penn's council decreed that a tree and vine be incorporated into the emblem to signify the county's abundance of woods. The seal was used in its official capacity until the Revolutionary State of war. The county government has since used the official Pennsylvania state seal for official documents. Today, the Bucks Canton seal's use is largely formalism. It appears on canton stationery and vehicles as a symbol of the canton's heritage. The gold keepsake is also the centerpiece of the official Bucks County flag, which has a blue background and gold trim.
