The District Court was established in 1969 when the state, by constitutional amendment, established 600 District Courts and Justices to replace 4,500 Justices of the Peace. Court 07-2-3 is designated to have jurisdiction over Perkasie, Sellersville, Silverdale, Telford, Hilltown, and West Rockhill Townships.The court of is utilized for initial jurisdiction for motor vehicle, criminal and civil cases arising in the area.

Mr. Hunsicker worked in the court system for 35 years, 23 years under the new system, and 12 under the old system. Mr. Hunsicker explained to us that the position of District Court Justice is an elected position, and when your turn is up, you can run again as many times desired. Mr. Hunsicker was very important in developing an educational program through Penn State University which is offered to District Judges; this program updates judges on the rapidly changing dictates of the law.

These pictures below are of the Perkasie Legion Club, the former resident in the District Court building. The Legion Club building became the home of the district court in 1969. This building was ideal for the court. The second floor was divided into a courtroom, client waiting room, official conference room, and private offices for the court staff.
