Bryn Mawr is one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most charming
suburbs. As was most of Pennsylvania, Bryn Mawr began as a land purchase from
William Penn to a farmer, in this case, Rowland Ellis who purchased 800 acres
from Penn in 1683. Sold to various families over the next 170+ years the town
was a thriving community of twenty-one houses and several large estates by
1857.
In 1832, the Philadelphia & Columbia Railway built its “Main
Line” between Philadelphia and Lancaster, which was then purchased in 1857 by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Known as
Humphreyville at that time, the railroad named the station “Bryn Mawr” after
Ellis’ original farm. By the end of the
1800”s more than 300 homes were built within a one mile radius of the station
making Bryn Mar one of Philadelphia’s first functional suburbs.
Today Bryn Mawr maintains the charm of its turn of the
century architecture and still has one of the finest, viable town centers
filled with charming Shoppe’s, restaurants and the Bryn Mawr Theater. It is also home to one of the finest regional
hospitals, the Bryn Mawr Hospital, several top rated private academies, The ShipleySchool, The Baldwin School and of course the highly rated Bryn Mawr College.
