Plumstead Township spans eastern Bucks County from Point Pleasant on the Delaware River to New Britain Township to its west. Along Route 611 is Plumsteadville, where the municipal offices are located. Plumstead was organized in 1725. English Friends moved northward through the woods along the Delaware River from Lower Bucks. Francis Plumstead, a London businessman, received 2,500 acres from William Penn, though he never came here. Most early settlers were English Quakers. Plumstead Friends Meeting, founded in 1727, was the township's first religious establishment.
 Other communities in the Township are Gardenville, Danboro, and Point Pleasant, where the Tohickon Creek flows into the Delaware. During the Victorian era, Point Pleasant was a resort for sportsmen. Ralph Stover State Park is two miles north of Point Pleasant on State Park Road and Stump Road, and contains 45 acres along the Tohickon Creek. Cabin Run Covered Bridge, built in 1871, is located on Township Rout 416, west of Ralph Stover State Park.
