Reading Company's Hatboro StationHatboro station is a rail station on SEPTA Regional Rail's Warminster Line, formerly the Reading Railroad's New Hope Branch, in Hatboro, Pennsylvania and was once terminus for electrified MUs. Electrification was completed in 1931 from Philadelphia, and extended to Warminster in 1974. The current brick construction station was built in 1935. An original wood construction freight station was completed in 1871 but no longer stands at the site.
Original construction by early residents of the town occurred between 1715 and 1719. Early settlement pre-dating the Hatboro name occurred in an area known as Crooked Billet. An early resident named John Dawson manufactured a line of hats in this area. When the post office opened in 1809 the town became known officially as Hatborough. U.S. Postmaster General John Wanamaker officially changed the name of the town in the 1880s to Hatboro.
