Harriman, Pennsylvania

Harriman, Pennsylvania

Harriman, Pennsylvania was a village in Bucks County, Pennsylvania located on the Delaware River. It was built during World War I under the direction of Henry Edward Prindle. It was soon the location of at least one ship yard. [ [http://smmlonline.com/articles/harriman/harriman.html The Harriman Type: Shipping Board Design 1025 ] ]

In fact its building was as housing for the Bristol Ship Yards and was coordinated by the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. Paul R. Broadman was made the first city manager. [http://files.usgwarchives.org/fl/pinellas/bios/b6350001.txt] The shipyards in turn had been largely built by Avarell Harriman. [ [http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/4emergency/wwone/bristol.htm Merchant Shipbuilding Bristol Harriman ] ]

In 1950 Harriman had 1,078 residents. It was also known as Harriman Park. In 1960 Harriman had either fallen below 1,000 residents or more likely had ceased to be a recognized locale. ["Columbia-Lippincott Gazeteer", Suplement (1962), p. 20] At some point Harriman was annexed by the borough of Bristol.
