4 unusual facts about Pennsylvania Route 232


Pennsylvania Route 232

In colonial times, the current alignment of PA 232 was referred to as the Middle Road because it was roughly midway between Old York Road and Bustleton Pike.

As the route approaches Aquetong Road, the surroundings become more forested and the road parallels Dark Hollow Run, briefly passing through farm fields.

PA 232 curves north again and passes a mix of rural areas and residential and commercial development prior to crossing Durham Road (PA 413) in the community of Penns Park.

South of Penns Park, the road was originally known as the Fox Chase and Huntingdon Valley Turnpike or the Second Street Turnpike, a turnpike that connected farms in Bucks County to Philadelphia.
