Geryville, Pennsylvania

Geryville is a village located mainly in Milford Township, Bucks County but also in Upper Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, United States. The first letter of the name is pronounced as a hard "g." It is located just north of Route 663 and is split between the East Greenville zip code of 18041 and the Pennsburg zip code of 18073.[1] Originally known as Aurora, the village received its name from the postmaster Jesse Gery in 1865. The Publick House on the corner of Sleepy Hollow Road and Geryville Pike played a prominent role in Fries's Rebellion of 1799.[2] It is drained via the Macoby Creek southward into the Perkiomen Creek and Schuylkill River.
