Dublin, Pennsylvania

Dublin is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States, with a population of 2,177 at the 2020 census. It covers about 1.3 square kilometres, all of it land, and extends along Pennsylvania Route 313, which connects the larger towns of Doylestown and Quakertown, in an area of dairy farms, nurseries and sparse housing developments that belong to Hilltown and Bedminster townships. The area was occupied by the Lenape people before Europeans arrived, and the early settlers were predominately Irish followed by Germans. Local lore holds that the name came from a Double Inn tavern, though no documentation supports this and it more likely comes from the city in Ireland. Residents tried and failed to erect a township in 1832 and again in 1841, and Dublin was finally erected into a borough in 1912. It is part of the Pennridge School District.
