The same year, Old Mount Bethel was erected as a town. After the Walking Purchase of 1737 between the William Penn family and the Lenape Delaware Indian tribes was completed, Old Mount Bethel was established in Bucks County. In 1752, Bucks County was divided and Northampton County was established, placing Old Mount Bethel within the boundaries of Northampton County. The original Mount Bethel was eventually divided into Upper and Lower townships on March 17, 1787.
