Historic Note [1]

Buckingham Valley is located to the south of Buckingham Mountain.The village grew up around the railroad station which area farmers used to send their products to market. A hay press and other facilities used by the farmers once operated here. [2] The station, located on the New Hope-Ivyland line, is still seen in the valley.

The village is now predominantly residential, consisting of a mixture of new and old homes. The houses tend to be spread out along the road, making it difficult to determine where the village begins and ends. A few commercial uses exist in Buckingham Valley including ... (uses mentioned are no-longer extant -- 2006).
