History of Hulmeville
How Hulmeville Got Its Name
The Hulme family, originally from a place called DeHoulme, came from Normandy. They settled in England before some family members moved to America around 1700. George Hulme Sr. and George Hulme Jr. bought land in Bucks County.
Later, John Hulme Jr. bought land along the Neshaminy Creek in 1796. He named this area Milford. Soon, the village grew with homes, mills, and shops. John Jr.'s five sons became a miller, storekeepers, a tanner, and a farmer.
A New Name for the Village
John Hulme Jr. helped start a post office in Milford in 1809. His son, Isaac, was the first postmaster. After this, the village name was changed to Hulmeville. People say the state government changed the name to honor John Jr.
The First Bank
In 1814, the very first bank in Bucks County was started in Hulmeville. John Jr. was its first president. This bank later moved to Bristol in 1830 and changed its name to Farmers' National Bank.
