It opened in late 2009 and occupies approximately 205 acres (83 ha).[1] Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the cemetery serves veterans in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area and is located less than 3 miles (4.8 km) from the Washington Crossing Historic Park.

Bucks County Congressman Michael Fitzpatrick has been credited with securing federal funding for the cemetery after decades of congressional inaction.[2]
