Due to its great location, the lovely little town of Quakertown has seen steady population growth over the years and currently has a population of almost 9,300 residents. Originally that was due to the onset of the railroad industry here. Still, with the automobile industry taking center stage, the same great location led to 4 major state highways being built, all easily accessible to Quakertown. The busy state highway, Route 309 runs right through the town and has led to extensive smaller malls being developed along the highway, populated by numerous restaurants, businesses, and retail outlets. Quakertown sits on2 square miles and 21 miles of roads.
