Glendale

School District: Central Bucks

"Glendale" village remains mostly in the flash of 5 or 10 seconds in the motorist periphery while passing along Street Road (in Buckingham or Solebury Township, depending on which direction you're travelling.) MacReynolds [1] affords it a mere two sentences ...

"Village nearly equidistant between the hamlets of Clayton and Highlon on the old street road that forms the boundary between Buckingham and Solebury Townships. Doubtless its name originated from its situation in the valley between Buckingham and Solebury Mountains."

Our choice to include it here as part of Buckingham rather than Solebury is for no other reason than that's the side on which we parked when stopping to take the photos.
