==History==
Prior to the arrival of Europeans the area was occupied by the [[Lenape]] people. Early settlers were predominately Irish followed by Germans. Local lore holds that the second tavern built on the site of the first tavern was a double log cabin with a chimney built between them, and that the name was derived from "Double Inn", but there is no documentation to support this. It is likely that the name was derived from the city in [[Ireland]]. A letter written by Reverend Uriah DuBois date Durham, April 21, 1798 is the first known mention of Dublin. In an agreement of sale for the tavern and {{convert|76|acres|ha}} of land by Isaac Morris, of [[Hatfield, Pennsylvania|Hatfield]], to Charles Brock, of [[Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Hilltown Township]] for $6400 dated December 12, 1817, Dublin was referred to as "the village of Dublin".<ref name="PlaceNamesDublin">MacReynolds, George, ''Place Names in Bucks County, Pennsylvania'', Doylestown, Bucks County Historical Society, Doylestown, PA, 1955, Dublin.</ref>

In 1832, locals attempted to erect Dublin into a township. The petition signed by _____ Angelmoyer, Samuel Angeny, Isaac Bechtel, Enos Cassel, Isaac Cassel, Joseph Detweiler, Christian Eckert, Philip Fluck, Abraham Fritz, Enos Hunsberger, Samuel Kile, Dielman Kolb, Henry Kolb, Jacob Kolb, Michael Kulp, Joseph Moyer, Samuel Moyer, Daniel Richert, John Wats and Samuel Wright was presented to Judge John Fox, failed. A second attempt in 1841 included some residents of [[New Britain Township, Pennsylvania|New Britain Township]] also failed. Dublin was finally erected into a borough in 1912.<ref name=PlaceNamesDublin/>

The first post office of Dublin was opened on April 18, 1827, Newton Rowland, postmaster. Prior to 1827, mail was delivered from [[Doylestown, Pennsylvania|Doylestown]] and [[Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Hilltown]]. William Rowland of Dublin served in the Pennsylvania General Assembly from 1812-1815. For many years, J. D. Moyer & Co. was one of the largest and most successful country stores in the county.<ref name="PlaceNamesDublin"/>

==Overview==
[[File:N Main St 161, Dublin PA.JPG|left|thumb|Dublin Village Shopping Center.]]
Dublin extends along a stretch of [[Pennsylvania Route 313]] which connects the much larger towns of [[Doylestown, Pennsylvania|Doylestown]] and [[Quakertown, Pennsylvania|Quakertown]]. Almost the entire town can be viewed from PA 313 with only a few streets diverging from the main road. The town is surrounded by sparse housing developments and a series of dairy farms and nurseries, all of which are part of [[Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Hilltown Township]] and [[Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bedminster Township]]. Dublin contains a small shopping center, a [[PennDOT]] Driver License Center, a pharmacy and 5 restaurants. Several rows of old houses line PA 313, some of which date back to the late 18th century. The majority of Dublin's population lives in several developments around the main part of town. Dublin has its own municipal government and maintains a fire station. Dublin has its own local police department and relies on [[Pennsylvania State Police]] when not on duty.
