LANDMARKS AND HISTORICAL SITES

While many of Hatboro’s original structures were demolished throughout the years to make way for a much more urbanized business center and shopping district, you’ll find several of the original structures that still stand to this day:


The Old Mill Inn

This is the oldest existing structure in Hatboro.  Built in 1720, this was used as a mill to grind grain.  In fact, George Washington used the mill to grind grain for his troops on their way to encampment at the Moland House on the Neshaminy Creek, where General Lafayette joined them.  In 1918, the mill became a restaurant.  Since then, it has been operated under different names, but today it is known as the Old Mill Inn.

THE HISTORY OF HATBORO, PENNSYLVANIA

Hatborough, once known as Crooked Billet and now known as Hatboro, was first purchased by Nicholas More on a warrant from William Penn.  The Mores began the first subdivision of the land, and subsequent sale of those parcels, shortly after 1705.  Four settlers had bought parcels in Hatborough, including the most well-known of the group by historical accounts, John Dawson.  At one time, it was believed that John Dawson was the founder of Hatboro, but he was actually the last of the original four property owners to acquire his parcel between 1717 and 1719.  He did, however, have a tremendous impact on the development of the town.
