abstract
  • Warminster Heights is a census-designated place and is a part of Warminster Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA; near the East border of Hatboro, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The population was 4,191 at the 2000 census. This neighborhood formerly served as the civilian housing area for the long-defunct Brewster Aeronautical Corporation, which later became the Naval Air Development Center and was finally known as the NAWC, Aircraft Division, Warminster prior to its being decommissioned and closed by the US federal government in the mid-1990s. Previously named Lacey Park, for Pennsylvania Militia General, John Lacey who fought during the American Revolutionary War at the Battle of Crooked Billet, which took place near the neighborhood. In the mid-1970s, Lacey Park was renamed to Warminster Heights, although to this day many older area residents prefer the former name when referring to the neighborhood. Deserved or not, it was notorious for its somewhat odious reputation among the local population as it was a lower middle class, blue collar, low-rent housing district during the 1960s and '70s up to the mid-1980s. Built in the 1940s by the US federal government, most of the housing units consisted of cinder block on slab construction, in units of four dwellings per structure (similar to Philadelphia row homes), in either one or two stories, generally with central heating via coal or heating oil furnaces with mostly electric appliances. Between 1957 and 1975 was under private ownership; in 1975 a Bucks County government entity was created to take over and manage the properties, and in 1986 ownership was turned over to a housing cooperative called the Warminster Heights Home Owners' Association.
