Northampton Township Historical Society
Richboro, Pennsylvania |
The Northampton Townsip Historical Society was started in the Mid 1970's by a small number of like minded individuals. This coincided with the Bicentennial in 1976. For many years through the 1990's and early 2000's the group grew in size. We had quarterly meetings at the library with interesting speakers and a quarterly newsletter called the HISTORIA. Back copies of this newsletter are available for download on this website as well as many photos and information on past society activities.
Early on many of our members were old-time residents of Northampton. Many stories of the past were shared among our members. Unfortunately most of these members are no longer with us but their stories live on and are documented in video interviews many of which are available on this website.
The society kind of feel apart after about 2016 and Covid stopped us all from getting together for several years. Well now it is 2026 and I am very pleased to announce that two very energetic young ladies have stepped forward and will be starting the society once again. They will be at Northampton Days on October 4th with a table and expect to have a general meeting as soon as December. Stay tune for further info.

In the early 2000's a group formed at Jake's Eatery in Richboro. They would meet
there everyday for lunch. One of the participants was Dottie Glessner, a poet and
good friend. Dottie was in her own words an old crone! She named the group The
Algonquin Roundtable after the one created by the NY Times drama critic, Alexander
Woolcott in 1919 which lasted a decade. The Richboro group would discuss issues of
the day and the personal woes of those attending. It was a regular daily meeting
that also lasted about a decade. Dottie and many of the participants have now passed
but she documented the group in poems and created a booklet of rememberences. Since
this is part of Richboro's history I present it here as a PDF.
