In 1735 Andrew Dingman ran a flat boat across the Delaware River to New Jersey. The family continued to run a ferry service across the river throughout the 19th century since several bridges that were built all failed. Finally, after the troubled past, this bridge was constructed by the Phoenix Bridge Company. It is one of the few privately owned bridges in the USA still in active use.
