Rushland

Rushland is a town within the northwestern corner of the Wrightstown Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. originally named for Joseph Sackett who came here in 1730. Called Sackett’s Ford from 1750 to about 1800. Joseph Sackett built a grist mill store and blacksmith shop near Mill Creek where it joined the Neshaminy Creek. Some authorities claim that the name of the hamlet, first Rush Valley and later Rushland was due to the availability of “scouring rushes” used by early settlers for cleaning pots and pans. On December 29, 1883, a post office was established under the name Rush Valley. In 1894 the name was changed to Rushland. Located along Mill Creek near Rushland was a settlement started by Italian immigrants who came to the area as laborers when the railroad was being built in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Their community became known as Little Italy. By forcing its way through a rocky cliff, the railroad opened a major industry for Rushland, the stone quarry, an industry that continues to this day. The New Hope & Ivyland Railroad passes through Rushland on the former Reading New Hope Branch and the old depot still stands today. The Vansant Farmhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
