Thousands of years after an American Indian tribe settled at the foot of a great spring, William Penn and the Quakers arrived in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It would be the beginning of an epic romance, as the borough has developed into one of the most beloved river towns in the world. During the Revolutionary War, General George Washington marched through the borough on four documented occasions. At the pinnacle of the war, ten thousand Continental Army troops crossed Coryell’s Ferry as they went on to win a crucial victory at the Battle of Monmouth. But it’s not just New Hope’s location on the Delaware River that has made is so important. Artists of the impressionist school produced great landscape paintings there, and classic Broadway and Hollywood stars played in front of the footlights at New Hope's famous Bucks County Playhouse. In more recent years, the borough became the first in Pennsylvania to pass a comprehensive ordinance banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Take a fascinating journey focusing on one of the nation’s most colorful river towns, and learn all about its diverse population, eclectic shops, and natural beauty. This is New Hope, Pennsylvania.

Thousands of years ago Native American Indians lived along the Delaware River in what is now New Hope, Pennsylvania. William Penn arrived from England in 1682, and helped to build a community for his fellow Quakers. Later, General George Washington and his army marched along Old York Road through the center of New Hope and crossed the Delaware River nearby. In the 19th century, mules pulled canal boats along the Delaware Canal to carry food and materials to help build our young country. In the 1920s many artists came to New Hope to paint the beautiful landscapes in the area, and later the Bucks County Playhouse brought Broadway and Hollywood stars to town. Today, all of these wonderful events are still celebrated in New Hope where shops, theaters, restaurants, museums, parks and ice cream parlors all add to the fun of visiting this historic Bucks County town.

The twin river hamlets of Lambertville, New Jersey, and New Hope, Pennsylvania, hold a special place in America's history. The tiny pocket of land on which they sit borders the Delaware River on the east and west, and it is this famous waterway that has fostered life as far back as the days when the Lenni Lenape fished and hunted here. Much has changed since the land was purchased by representatives of King Charles II in the late seventeenth century, but what continues to make Lambertville and New Hope special are their deep and enduring ties to the past. This intriguing visual history documents the proud heritage of these riverfront communities from the dawn of photography to the early 1900s through two hundred carefully selected images accompanied by detailed and informative text. Photography is perhaps the most remarkable of all our historic records because it brings history to life for so many people. The images collected for this book provide a window into the past that is both intimate and learned: one image tells of the human toil and ingenuity that went into the digging of the canal system, while another takes us into the carefree world of two young lovers setting out with parasol and oars to spend some quiet moments together on the Delaware in the Victorian era.

Many artists and area residents believe that the New Hope Impressionists moved into the area due to the beauty of the Delaware River Valley and a desire to live and create in such an environment. Since many artists prefer to work in groups the artists continued to attract other artists creating a domino effect. This paper examines the question of how New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Lambertville, New Jersey, emerged as an arts destination by studying the history of the arts and artists who lived and worked in the area. After several interviews with area artists and gallery owners, it was evident that the primary reasons were that the artists were poor and the real estate in the area was relatively cheap and in close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia. Also large spaces for studios were available because the area had once been industrial. As a result, the area gentrified because of the artists moving here and creating a desirable community. Ultimately, the authentic artists and true identity of New Hope and Lambertville have been lost due to gentrification.
