Warminster Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania was established 1711. Fifteen years later William Tennent moved to the area and opened a religious school, "The Log College," that educated many preachers of the revivalist First Great Awakening and is considered the antecedent to Princeton University. Later in the century, John Fitch began working on prototypes for what would become the first steamboat to operate commercially in 1790. Warminster again made history in the mid-20th century when the Johnsville Naval Air Development Center was constructed. The Center was home to what was then the world's largest human centrifuge, which was used to train astronauts for the U.S. space program from the late 1950s until 2004.
