Formed in 1814, Pike County was originally comprised of the townships of Middle Smithfield, Delaware, Upper Smithfield, Lackawaxen, and Palmyra. As years passed, other townshipswere added and some of the names changed, and today Pike County consists of 13 townships and boroughs.

The early daredevils who rafted lumber to Trenton and Philadelphia, using the Delaware River as their byway, were a rough?and?tumble bunch. As time went on, these mavericks gave way to new ones and the stories of entrepreneurs, trendsetters, great men and women, and fascinating events were etched into the countys history. Using vintage photographs from the Pike County Historical Societys archives, Pike County chronicles the people and stories that make this area unique.
