Town
History: |
Although historical records are imprecise, Haworth is believed to take its name from Haworth, England, a hamlet made famous by the Bronte sisters. The first European settlers were not English, but Dutch farmers who carved out a field from thick forests. The rural tranquility of the area remains undisturbed with its Tudor-style homes and its ancient trees towering to commanding heights. Haworth is a beautiful single-family community. |
