It is easy to see why William Penn chose Bucks County as his home when he moved to his newly founded Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1682.  The county's picturesque setting makes it ideal for both residents and visitors looking for a quiet escape.  There is a little something for everyone throughout Bucks County's 607 square miles of diverse landscapes.  Lower Bucks also contains the distinguished Council Rock School District.  Based in Newtown, a community whose colonial history is evident in its majestic pre-Revolutionary homes, and covering five municipalities, the school district boasts the most up-to-date technology and facilities.  The school district focuses on a comprehensive and extensive education for all of its students, who regularly score much higher on standardized tests than the national average. Council Rock also has extremely successful athletic and co-curricular programs that give students opportunities to excel outside of the traditional classroom.
