  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, heartiest congratulations to my friends 
and neighbors on the 125th anniversary of Langhorne Manor Borough, 
which is notable for its role in the history of Bucks County, as well 
as the modern sense of community maintained one generation after 
another. A small group of investors, called the Langhorne Improvement 
Company, purchased 800 acres--attracted by the open, country setting 
and the nearby Boundbrook Railroad. The newly founded borough was named 
for the area's first landowners, the Langhornes'. Government and 
community leaders of this thriving, small borough cherish their history 
and remain dedicated to maintaining a quiet community nestled in the 
bustle of Lower Bucks County. The borough is home to the former 
Langhorne Manor School, a one-room schoolhouse listed, in 2008, on the 
National Register of Historic Places. In 1959, it was sold and 
converted to the borough hall, which is the present-day seat of 
government. Again, congratulations on this historic milestone and best 
wishes for the future.
