The area was a trading center and had hotels drawing farmers bringing goods for sale via horse and buggy.

The old Paul's Run waterway once provided navigation from the Bustleton Tavern all the way to the Delaware River. Bustleton was originally part of Lower Dublin Township, also known as Dublin Township, a defunct township that was located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The township ceased to exist and was incorporated into the City of Philadelphia following the passage of the Act of Consolidation, 1854.Bustleton is home to the Lower Dublin Baptist Church, one of the oldest churches in America.

It is located on the eastern side of the far northeast, in the vicinity of Northeast Philadelphia Airport, including Wooden Bridge Run west to Academy Gardens, and south to Pennypack Park. Originally farm land, it was part of the holdings of Thomas Holme, surveyor for Philadelphia's founder, William Penn. The area was part of one of the original townships, Lower Dublin Township, until the 1854 Act of Consolidation incorporated it into the City of Philadelphia. Holme emancipated his slaves upon his death, and their descendants owned much of the area. Remnants of their community can still be seen near present-day Holme Circle, where stood a village formerly called Harrisburg. Their tiny Bethany A.M.E. Church, located on Ashton Road, at least unofficially rivals Mother Bethel A.M.E. as the oldest African-American church. "Woodenbridge" is from Wooden Bridge Run, a creek that flows through the north of the area, a tributary of Pennypack Creek. The name "Ashton-Woodenbridge" first came into use in the 1970s [1] to honor the Ashton Family whose progenitor settled in the area in 1653 before William Penn. Joseph Ashton's Farm, River Dale, on the Delaware River, is now the Torresdale Filter Plant [2]. Other Ashtons settled up the Pennypack Creek in and around Ashton Road. Active farms dotted the area as late as the early 1960s and horse-drawn wagons frequently served as local transit during snowy weather, navigating the steep Ashton Road to take workers to the bus stop at Holme Circle. The area has long been served by freight railroad, and there remains active industry in the area.

Originally a World War II airbase, it now serves as a general-aviation reliever airport for Philadelphia International Airport.
