Yardley, PA - Daddy Warbucks Gives the Gift of a Meat Bucket

Welcome to Yardley, Pennsylvania, where "if your business is right for Yardley, we'll make Yardley right for your business!"  The town is located on the banks of the Delaware River 30 miles northeast of Philadelphia.  The town was settled in 1682 by William Yeardley, a Quaker who emigrated to America with his family in search of religious freedom.  The town was originally called Yardleyville, but was shortened to Yardley to avoid confusing to town with the nearby town of Yardville, NJ.  The area was the launch site of the crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas Night of 1776 by George Washington and his army.  The victory that followed in Trenton, NJ was the first major victory for the Continental Army.  The town has been called home by a quite a few notable people, but Aileen Quinn tops the charts for Dr, Jess.  Quinn played the title role in the 1982 film Annie.  We hope you enjoy our trip to Yardley!Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
