Английская Википедия:Deep Run (Tohickon Creek tributary)
Deep Run is a tributary of Tohickon Creek which is located in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
History
Deep Run was so named by the first Irish settlers because it was deep compared to its width. The removal of trees at one time and erosion has lessened its depth.
The Deep Run Mennonite Church and Deep Run Presbyterian Church are located in the Deep Run Valley. The Deep Run schoolhouse dates to 1746 when land was deeded to the Mennonites for this purpose, the structure was a log building. It was first used as a meeting house, then when a second structure was built as a meeting house, the first one became a schoolhouse. It was torn down in 1842. The second schoolhouse was built circa 1844. German was taught exclusively until 1850.[1]
