When researching the town I grew up in on Wikipedia I found not a lot of information. The town I grew up in is called Quakertown PA.  This town is 29 miles north of Philadelphia and has a population of 8931 when the last census was done in 2000. The town has grown a lot since the year 2000 and I feel that the population might have actually doubled since then. A school just for freshmen in high school was opened a few years ago due to the overwhelming amount of people moving to the area. Over all this town has changed a lot since I first lived there. The town used to be mostly farmland and a few factories. Farm land has turned to residential housing and most people commute to work every day to either Allentown PA or Philadelphia.

I feel that there really is not a lot of information on this town because no one really wants to live there. Basically there is nothing to do. It is a lot like Indiana in that way.  Originally, the town was actually built over swamp land and that is still an issue the town is dealing with today. To compare Indiana to Quakertown I would have to say that you have to drive over 20 miles to get any type of entertainment.  I was surprised to see so little information on the town. I feel that someone should have written more about the town and its history. What is cited on Wiki is that the liberty bell actually went through this town and was smuggled during the revolutionary war. What is not cited is that Red Coats actually made it that far and were on the tail of George Washington.
