YMCA of Bucks County history
YMCA of Bucks County company history timeline
Lower Bucks Family YMCA began in 1935 when twelve Bristol High School boys approached faculty member John Burris and expressed a desire to form a purposeful club.
In the mid-1960's, community leaders proposed the establishment of a Y in the Central Bucks community with subsequent locations in a store front on North Main Street and the basement of the old Doylestown Borough High School at Broad and Court Streets.
Mid-1960’s Fred Haynes, Executive Director
Originally residing in the Emmanuel Episcopal Church at 5th and Broad Streets in Quakertown, the Y moved to the former American Legion building in 1970 temporarily while construction began on a site on 14th Street.
1972 Louise Peters, Program Director
David Burpee deeded the 7-1/2 acre site at Lower State Road and Memorial Drive to the Y. In 1979, the current facility was opened with 1,500 members.
The first building on this site was opened in the late 70's, with a major expansion completed in 2001.
A current expansion project, due to open in 2010, adds a second pool, expanded fitness and multi-purpose studios, locker rooms and more.
In August 2018, Central Bucks Family YMCA and Lower Bucks Family YMCA merged to form YMCA of Bucks County.
In 2021, the Y completed its much-anticipated capital project for the Doylestown branch.
