Origins of BRIDESBURG
A village south of Frankford Creek and upon a tract of land formerly belonging
to Point-no-Point. It took its name from Joseph Kirkbride, who for many years
was land-owner there and proprietor of a ferry over Frankford Creek, and to whom
Legislature gave a right to build a bridge and receive toll for passage over the
same by act of March 20,1811. On April 1, 1833, the County of Philadelphia
bought the Kirkbride bridge and two and a half acres of land annexed for $5,500.
Kirkbridesburg was considered too long a name for convenient use, and the
shorter one was adopted Bridesburg was incorporated as a borough on April 1,
1848.
