History
Foul Rift was named after the rapids along that stretch of the Delaware River. The community began as campsites, and grew to include summer cottages and year-round rental cottages.[3]
A tract of Шаблон:Convert was surveyed to William Penn, "extending from the foot of Foul Rift to Hutchison's". Early settlers to Foul Rift purchased land from Penn's heirs in 1740. The Rifton Mills were built there in 1814 in order to harness the fast flowing water at Foul Rift. In 1856, the mills were destroyed by fire.[4]
Between 2004 and 2006, a series of floods destroyed 24 cottages in Foul Rift. The remaining four cottages, owned by PPL Corporation, were removed in 2008.[3]
