History

R.I.P. George Nacarella, Founder/Owner

The South Perkasie Hotel was built about 1850 at the crossroads of Hagersville-Sellersville Road and Hilltown-Quakertown Road, today Main and Walnut Streets.  In its early history, it was a popular stopover for Lehigh Valley merchants and farmers enroute to Philadelphia.  The South Perkasie Hotel was one of the best known cattle marts in the country.  Throughout its long history, thousands of heads of cattle, horses, and pigs were shipped and sold here.  It was the birthplace of the "combination sale," today's flea market. 

In 1975 George Nacarella purchased the South Perkasie Hotel property at a backyard auction.  Together, George and his son Larry, made the Perk what it is today.
