The population was 54,582 at the 2010 census, making it the 13th largest municipality in the state. Bristol Township, along with Bristol Borough, is a cultural hub for Lower Bucks County, hosting celebrations of African and Latino heritage. Parts of the township consist of the neighborhoods of Fairless Hills and Levittown, Pennsylvania. HistoryBefore Bristol Township was settled, it was populated by Delaware Indians. It was formed as Buckingham Township in 1692 and was renamed Bristol Township in 1702. The springs at Bath, in Bristol Township, were popular among wealthy Philadelphians for a while, but lost popularity to the ones in Saratoga, New York. The Delaware Canal was built in 1831 and connected Bristol to Easton, 60 miles to the north. Still, until the 1950s Bristol Township was largely agricultural. In 1952 William Levitt began construction of his Levittown, which was located partly in Bristol Township. The Phineas Pemberton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2] The War Dog Memorial, located in front of the Bristol Township Municipal Building, was dedicated in 2006.[3] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of {{convert|17.2|sqmi|km2}}, of which, {{convert|16.1|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|1.1|sqmi|km2}} of it (6.33%) is water. Bristol Township is located at a crossroads of U.S. Route 13, Pennsylvania Route 413, the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 276), Interstate 95, and Interstate 295. Some of these roads mentioned originated as Lenni Lenape river trails along the Delaware River. This has made Bristol Township an ideal location. Named places, past and present, in Bristol Township include Bath, Croydon, Edgely, Emilie, part of Levittown, Midway, Newportville, Pickpocket, and Pine Grove.[4] Natural features include Mill Creek, Neshaminy Creek, and Queen Anne Creek.[4] Demographics{{US Census population|1890= 1591 |1900= 1397 |1910= 1992 |1920= 5027 |1930= 4381 |1940= 5857 |1950= 12184 |1960= 59298 |1970= 67498 |1980= 58733 |1990= 57129 |2000= 55521 |2010= 54582 |estyear=2016 |estimate=53771 |estref=[5] |footnote=[6] }} As of the 2010 census, the township was 77.3% Non-Hispanic White, 10.2% Black or African American, 0.2% Native American, 2.8% Asian, and 2.8% were two or more races. 7.4% of the population were of Hispanic or Latino ancestry.[7] As of the census[8] of 2000, there were 55,521 people, 19,733 households, and 14,503 families residing in the township.
