Abstracts of Public Records, Northampton County, Pa (and Surrounding Counties)


Book Description

"Northampton County was formed in 1752, taking land from the northern part of Bucks County, one of the three original counties of Pennsylvania... The county seat was established in Easton (still the county seat of Northampton)... Northampton lost about a half of its original area in 1772 when Northumberland County was formed. In all, the county underwent seven divisions before it attained its final borders in 1843... Counties which were once part of Northampton County were Wayne, formed in 1798; part of Schuylkill, formed in 1811; Lehigh, formed in 1812; Pike, formed in 1814; Monroe, formed in 1836; and finally, Carbon, formed in 1843. Territory taken by Northumberland from Northampton County eventually was divided into the counties of Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Bradford, Sullivan, Wyoming, Luzerne, part of Lycoming, and part of Columbia." -- P. iii.
