History

Rich Square was first incorporated in 1869 and is the oldest town in Northampton County. The town takes its name from the earliest recorded land purchase of 640 acres on March 9, 1717, which comprised a square mile of fertile farmland inside the current city limits. Two locations in or near the town, Duke-Lawrence House and Edgewood, also known as Holoman-Outland House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
