The Western Edge
Living in Milford Township, Bucks County
Twenty-eight square miles on the county’s western border — Unami Creek country, Spinnerstown, and the county airport.
Milford Township is the far western corner of Bucks County, a large rural township of roughly 28 square miles that borders Lehigh and Montgomery counties. Most of it drains west, by way of the Unami and Macoby creeks, toward the Perkiomen and eventually the Schuylkill — a reminder that this end of the county belongs geographically to a different river system than the Delaware-facing rest of it.
It is also where the county keeps its airport. Quakertown Airport, owned by the Bucks County Airport Authority and dedicated in 1965, sits in Milford Township about two miles west of Quakertown Borough. Around it the township is farmland, woods, and villages — Spinnerstown, Steinsburg, Finland — with the Turnpike interchange close enough to make the Lehigh Valley an easy commute.
