This short essay examines the Portuguese Settlement, one of several remnant communities in western Northampton County which descend from a combination of tribal groups, as well as varying degrees of non- Indian ancestry. While this community has been greatly impacted by out-migration and intermarriage with the general population, and most residents of Northampton County know little about it, there are still numerous descendants in the area, some still living on land that has been in their families for generations.
