The lands for Perkasie were surveyed as early as 1708. The area here were so attractive that even William Penn's family granted tracts of land in the area to their friends. Perkasie remained largely an agricultural area until the railroad arrived in the area in the mid-19th century after an expansive public works project. The city continued to grow well into the early 20th century as a railroad hub and maker of high-end cigars, a very popular commodity for well-to-do gentlemen during those days. Today, Perkasie continues to grow and identify itself. The city is currently home to more than 8,500 residents, according to information from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, and that number is expected to grow as more people find out about this charming Pennsylvania town.

Although Perkasie may be a small town, citizens here can enjoy an extensive park system that  expands to over 200 acres with four main parks. Perhaps the most popular is Lenape Park, an excellent green space that offers a dog park, skate park, ball fields, an ice skating rink and beautiful bridges that Perkasie residents can enjoy.
