The town was renamed by railroad agent William H. Wilson after he acquired on behalf of the railroad the 283 acres that now comprise Bryn Mawr. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km˛), all land and entirely within Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. However, the "Bryn Mawr" zip code (19010) covers a larger area and, as a result, the geographic term "Bryn Mawr" is often used in a sense that includes not only the CDP, but also other areas that share the zip code. These other areas include the community of Rosemont within Lower Merion Township and Radnor Township, and various other areas within Lower Merion Township, Radnor Township, and Haverford Township. Gladwyne was settled in 1682 by Welsh Quakers. It was near the Welsh Tract, and was known formerly as "Merion Square". It was given its new name in 1891 in order to imitate the stylish Welsh names of adjoining towns, although the name is meaningless in Welsh. Shortly after the American Civil War, wealthy Philadelphians began to discover Gladwyne, establishing summer homes there. Haverford's name is derived from the old English word for "goat crossing." Today, Haverford is most famous for being the site of Haverford College and one of the oldest Country Clubs, Merion Cricket Club. The town is connected to downtown by the SEPTA R5 commuter rail system and Norristown High Speed Line. It is in the Eastern Standard time zone. Its elevation is 318 feet. The most notable feature of Villanova, is Villanova University, from which the community gains its name. It is also home to many notable names in sports: Home to Dikembe Mutumbo - NBA star. Villanova University, Cabrini College, the Valley Forge Military Academy and College and Eastern University are all located within Radnor Township.The headquarters of TV Guide magazine and Airgas are located here. According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 35.7 km˛ (13.8 mi˛). 35.6 km˛ (13.8 mi˛) of it is land and 0.07% is water. Some or all of the communities of Bryn Mawr, Garrett Hill, Rosemont, St. Davids, Villanova, Radnor and Wayne are located in Radnor Township.Radnor Township was founded 1682 as a land grant from William Penn. The township was part of the Welsh Tract and was named for Radnorshire in Wales. In 1717, the Welsh Friends erected a Quaker meetinghouse near what is now the intersection of Conestoga Road and Sproul Road at the geographic center of the township. The new town, "Radnorville", grew around the meetinghouse. The Welsh influence waned in the late 1700s as many left the area due to high taxation. Stone monuments were erected in various locations throughout the township in the late twentieth century to commemorate the township's Welsh heritage. Lower Merion Township was first settled in 1682 by Welsh Quakers who were granted a tract of land (the Welsh Tract) by William Penn. In 1713, Lower Merion was established as an independent Township with about 52 landholders and tenants. In 1900, the Township was incorporated as a Township of the First Class.According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 23.9 square miles. The Township is bounded by the City of Philadelphia, the Boroughs of Conshohocken and West Conshohocken, and the Townships of Upper Merion and Whitemarsh in Montgomery County and by the Townships of Haverford and Radnor in Delaware County. The Borough of Narberth, although a separate political entity of one-half square mile, is completely surrounded by the Township. Forming the Township's eastern border is City (Line) Avenue (U.S. Route 1) separating it from the City of Philadelphia. Along City Ave, starting with the Schuylkill Expressway and continuing on to Lord & Taylor at Belmont Avenue in Bala Cynwyd, is what is known as the "Golden Mile"[citation needed] which also includes the radio and television studios of WCAU, the Exxon Building, the Fox Building and the Germantown Savings Bank Building. In back of these buildings are the One-Ninety-One Condominiums and the Bala Cynwyd Plazas. The Township's northern border is along the Schuylkill River which is paralleled by the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76), a limited access roadway that connects to Philadelphia and the Valley Forge Interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The famed Mid-County Interchange is located just outside the Township. Other highways serving the Township are U.S. Route 30 and Pennsylvania Routes 23 and 320. Before European settlement, Lower Merion's dense forest was home to bears, cougars, wolves, rattlesnakes, otters, beavers, weasels, turkeys, grouses, woodland bison, trout, and bald eagles. When Europeans arrived, they began cutting down the forests, chasing away much of the wildlife. After World War Two, Lower Merion transformed from a farming township to a suburban one, and wildlife changed accordingly. Today, red foxes, white-footed mice, horned owls, skunks, raccoons, crayfish, songbirds, butterflies, and white-tailed deer populate the township.
