Levittown: Postwar Suburb in Lower Bucks County
Levittown was built by Levitt & Sons between 1952 and 1958 on former spinach fields in Bristol, Falls, Middletown, and Tullytown townships of lower Bucks County. At 17,311 homes it was the second and largest Levittown, following the original Long Island project. The development was designed to house workers at the new U.S. Steel Fairless Works, which opened on the Delaware River in 1952 and eventually employed over 10,000 people.
Each of the six neighborhoods, called sections, was designed around a swimming pool, shopping center, and schools. Streets within each section share a common letter, so all roads in Birch Valley begin with B, all in Cobalt Ridge with C, and so on. The design made Levittown a template for American suburban development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Unlike the original Long Island Levittown, the Pennsylvania development was unincorporated, straddling four townships and never adopting a single municipal government. The Bristol-Levittown area shares its name and postal identity but operates under four township administrations. The U.S. Steel Fairless Works closed most operations in 2001, and the former plant site is being redeveloped as Keystone Trade Center for logistics.
