Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Dublin, PA

Dublin is a small borough in Bucks County that stretches along Pennsylvania Route 313, midway between the much larger towns of Doylestown and Quakertown.

The village of Dublin dates back to 1762, and its earliest settlers were of English and Scotch-Irish descent, followed by German settlers.

The first known written mention of Dublin is a letter by Reverend Uriah DuBois in 1798, and the name was most likely derived from Dublin, Ireland, though local lore claims it came from a 'Double Inn' — a double log cabin tavern with a chimney built between the two halves.

Dublin was finally incorporated as a borough on September 3, 1912, after earlier attempts in 1832 and 1841 had failed, and it celebrated its 100th anniversary in September 2012.

Dublin's first post office opened on April 18, 1827, with Newton Rowland as the first postmaster; before that, mail was delivered from Doylestown and Hilltown.

The population of Dublin was 2,177 at the 2020 census, and the 2000 census counted 851 households in the borough.

Dublin more than doubled in size during the 1970s, jumping from 657 residents in 1970 to 1,565 in 1980 as suburban residential development and apartments arrived.

Almost the whole borough can be seen from PA Route 313 (Main Street), the only numbered highway serving Dublin, and several houses lining it date back to the late 18th century.

Dublin contains three properties designated as Bucks Historic Sites by the Bucks County Heritage Conservancy, including St. Luke's Lutheran Church on South Main Street, built around 1870.

Students in Dublin attend schools in the Pennridge School District.
