Bucks County

County in southeastern Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia, bordered by the Delaware River; area 1,580 sq km/610 sq mi; population (1990) 541,200. Its capital is Doylestown. Containing many affluent Philadelphia suburbs and exurbs, it has experienced rapid growth in recent decades. The artists' colony of New Hope and the planned community of Levittown are here.

The county was formerly inhabited by Delaware American Indians. Its towns were founded by English Quakers and its farms settled by German Mennonites in the 17th and 18th centuries.
