About Doylestown

Doylestown sits in southeast Pennsylvania and mixes old charm with new style. The town has pretty old homes, small shops, and streets made for walking. You don’t need a car to see its best parts. Long ago, in 1723, it was called "Ardent Valley." Many houses on Main Street were built in the early 1900s as quiet getaways for rich families. Today, Doylestown still keeps its past alive with its cozy look and friendly feel.
