A small village in the south-central part of Southampton Township. One part grew around the historic Buck Hotel, where the Richboro Pike, the Buck Road and the Bridgeton Road unite to form the Somerton Pike. The other part of the village was built where the combined roads cross the Street Road. The first building of the Dutch Reformed Church of North and Southampton was erected at Feasterville in 1737.
