A Brief History
The founding of Perkiomenville is
controversial, but most historians suspect that a farmer named James Ferguson
Seeds became the first landowner in 1727 when he tended the land inhabited by the
Perkiomen Indians. Legend has it that Seeds enjoyed a peaceful relationship
with the natives, and his grandson, Jacob, even married a native Perkiomen
Indian. Upon James Seeds’ death, he
dubbed the area “Perkiomenville”.
