About Neshaminy School District
The Neshaminy School District covers 27.6 square miles in historic Bucks County,
Pennsylvania (northeast of Philadelphia), serving approximately 70,000 residents.
Neshaminy educates more than 9,000 students from the boroughs of Hulmeville,
Langhorne, Langhorne Manor, Penndel, and the townships of Lower Southampton
(including Feasterville and Trevose) and Middletown.
The first school in the area was established in Langhorne in 1836, and the district
as it exists today was formed in 1950.
“Neshaminy” is a Native American name, reflecting the Lenape Indians who lived
along the Neshaminy Creek, which runs through the center of the district. The area
experienced rapid growth in the 1950s with the construction of Levittown, one of
the nation’s first modern planned suburbs.

Bucks County was founded in 1682 by William Penn and is home to many historic

Pennsylvania, Bucks County is bordered by the Delaware River and Trenton,
New Jersey to the east and the historic city of Philadelphia to the southwest.
