Sellersville is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and a suburb of Philadelphia. It began in the early 18th century as Sellers Tavern, named after the inn that was a notable feature of the new community. In the 1860s, the construction of a railroad prompted an increase in business and the population; textile industries fueled the town's continued growth. Early in the 20th century, the Perkiomen Creek which runs between Sellersville and Perkasie was dammed, creating Lake Lenape. A park was built on the shores of this lake with a carousel, roller coaster, and other rides in the 1920s and 1930s, and the park became a popular summertime retreat for citizens of other nearby cities. Today the textile industry has moved away, and the park has all but gone, leaving only the carousel behind. The town has become a residential community for people working in nearby areas. One of Sellersville's historic buildings, the Teller Cigar Factory, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
