PIKE COUNTY

ORIGIN

The County of Pike was separated from Wayne County on March 26, 1814. Wayne had been separated from

Northhampton on March 21, 1798, and Northhampton had been formed from part of Bucks County on March 11,

1752. Bucks was one of the original counties created by William Penn in 1682.

When formed in 1814, Pike County included the Townships of Middle Smithfield, Delaware, Upper Smithfield,

Lackawaxen and Palmyra. By the Act of April 1, 1836, a portion of Pike County was cut off to form part of

Monroe County; otherwise, its boundaries remain as they were established by the Act of 1814. It was named for

Zebulon Montgomery Pike, discoverer of Pike’s Peak and a General killed in the war of 1812.

The County Seat is at Milford. The original Courthouse was constructed in 1815. The present Courthouse was

completed in 1874. The Administration Building was completed in 1985. The latest County facility is the Pike

County Jail which was completed in 1995. Construction is currently in progress on the Extension to the 1874

Courthouse.

******************************************************************************************

BLOOMING GROVE TOWNSHIP

Created December 17, 1850, from parts of Lackawaxen and Palmyra Townships. A visitor passing through about

the time of the American Revolution discovered there an abandoned farm with a grove of large apple trees in

bloom. They had obviously been planted many years before.

DELAWARE TOWNSHIP

The oldest of Pike’s Townships, was in existence before 1766 as part of Northhampton County. It was named

because it bordered the Delaware River and originally extended west to the Luzerne County line.

DINGMAN TOWNSHIP

Created April 17, 1832, from Upper Smithfield Township. Named for Daniel Westbrook Dingman, a member of

the Pennsylvania Legislature and a County Judge for 26 years. His grandfather, Andrew Dingman first came to

the area about 1735 and started Dingman Ferry.

GREENE TOWNSHIP

Created April 24, 1839, from Palmyra Township. Named for the popular Revolutionary War General Nathanel

Greene, who fought at Boston, Long Island, Trenton and Brandywine.

LACKAWAXEN TOWNSHIP

Was named for the river which bore the Indian name meaning swift waters. It was one of the original townships

of Wayne County in 1798.

45

LEHMAN TOWNSHIP

Created August 19, 1829, from Delaware Township. Listed on Tax rolls for Upper Smithfield Township in 1815

was Joseph Leighman, paying 55 cents on 442 acres. In 1824 his name was spelled Leaman and by 1832 was

Lehmman.

MATAMORAS BOROUGH

Incorporated as a borough on January 18, 1905, was originally part of Westfall Township. Named during the

Mexican War after the American Army captured the Mexican town of Matamoras. That town had originally been

named for Rev. Mariano Matamoras, a hero of the Mexican Revolution.

MILFORD BOROUGH

Incorporated as a borough on December 25, 1874, and was originally part of Milford Township.

MILFORD TOWNSHIP

Created April 17, 1832, from Upper Smithfield Township. John Biddis laid out the village in 1796. Some say it

was named for Milford Haven in Wales where William Biddis (father of John) was born. Others say the Wells’

Mill and the spot where the Delaware was forded resulted in the name Mill-Ford.

PALMYRA TOWNSHIP

Originally much larger, was formed in 1798 as a part of Wayne County. Like Bethany, Caanan, Promise Land

and Lebanon, it was named because of its Biblical connection. The ancient town of Palmyra (or Tadmor) today

is in Syria.

PORTER TOWNSHIP

Created December 16, 1851, from parts of Delaware and Lehman Townships. Named in honor of Hon. James

Madison Porter who built the first house there at Portersville by Porter Lake in 1849.

SHOHOLA TOWNSHIP

Created September 25, 1852, from parts of Lackawaxen, Westfall and Milford Townships, bears the name which

the Indians used to describe the Creek. In comparison to the nearby Lackawaxen “swift waters,” the Shohola was

more quiet, tranquil or peaceful. Those who ask for a one-word translation of “Shohola” might well select

“peaceful”.

WESTFALL TOWNSHIP

Created January 31, 1839, from Milford Township. Simon Westfall (or Westfael) first settled there before 1743.

His son Simon built the stone house in Matamoras. Two descendants, Cornelius and Jacob served as Justices of

the Peace.
