How did Telford get its name?

Telford was first called Hendrick's Blacksmith Shop and then County Line. When the railroad came to the area in 1857 it called this stop "Telford", after Sir Thomas Telford, a renowned Scottish civil engineer. It became less confusing to call the town the same name as the train stop, but the town was situated in two counties. When the Bucks County town became incorporated in 1886 it took Telford as its name. The Montgomery County portion took the name of West Telford in 1897. Finally in 1934 the state allowed a town to exist in two counties and the towns consolidated and became known as Telford in 1937.
