'''Hulmeville''' is a [[Borough (Pennsylvania)|borough]] in [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania]], United States. The population was 1,003 at the [[2010 United States census|2010 census]].

==History==
The Hulme family name, originally DeHoulme, is of [[Normans|Norman]] origin, dating from [[William the Conqueror]]. Members of the family originally settled in [[Lancashire]], England, a branch later moved to [[Cheshire]]. The American family came from this branch. George Hulme Sr. and George Hulme Jr. immigrated to [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County]] from [[Tilston]], Cheshire, about 1700, purchasing land and settled in [[Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Middletown Township]], some of the family later relocating to [[Buckingham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Buckingham]]. John Hulme Sr., grandson of George Sr. and his son, George Hulme Jr., moved from Buckingham to [[Fallsington, Pennsylvania|Fallsington]] and ran a weaving business until 1796 when John Jr. purchased land along the [[Neshaminy Creek]] and called it Milford. John Jr. married Rebecca Milnor daughter of [[William Milnor]].<ref name="MacReynolds">MacReynolds, George, ''Place Names in Bucks County, Pennsylvania'', Doylestown, Bucks County Historical Society, Doylestown, PA, 1942, P199.</ref>

Within a few years, the village built up to a number of dwellings, mills and other shops. The five sons of John Jr. became a miller, two storekeepers, a tanner and a farmer. There was no public house, but John Jr. many times opened his house to travelers. One autumn day in 1809, [[Josiah Quincy III]] stayed overnight on the way from [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] to [[Washington, D.C.]] John Jr. served a term in the [[Pennsylvania General Assembly]] and helped start a post office at Milford established on 1 October 1809, his son Isaac, the first postmaster. The village name then changed to Hulmeville. It is claimed that the General Assembly changed the name in honor of John Jr.<ref name="MacReynolds"/>

The first bank in Bucks County was organized in 1814, John Jr. the first president. The bank moved to Bristol in 1830 and its name was changed to Farmers' National Bank.<ref name="MacReynolds"/>
