About this city
Also known as: Home of the Ringing Rocks
Upper Black Eddy is a picturesque, upscale historic rural community located in Bridgeton Township within historic Bucks County, beautifully situated along the scenic western banks of the Delaware River in eastern Pennsylvania. Named after the historic Black family who established a prominent colonial river ferry and hotel enterprise here in the 18th century, the settlement long served as an important shipping node for the Delaware Canal, transporting timber and coal. Today, Upper Black Eddy preserves a peaceful, unhurried old-world charm, lined with early 18th-century stone structures and forested river cliffs. It has transformed into a premier upscale sanctuary for antique collectors, nature hikers, and tri-state city vacationers looking to explore spectacular geological anomalies and pristine forest wilderness.
