Sterling

History of Lower Makefield

The village was first called “Stradlington” for Thomas Stradling, the village smithy from 1745 through the 1790s. A “Tavern license application,” dated 1798 disclosed this information. The tavern license applicant Doctor Thomas Biles, also known as Professor Biles, opened his tavern at the crossroads in the first two decades of the 19th century. He renamed the village “Biles Corner.” By 1830, deeds of the area indicated it became known as “Summerville.”
