History of Haverford
In 1684, a group of Welsh Quakers purchased 40,000 acres of land (Haverford, Radnor, and Lower Merion) from William Penn, known as the Welsh Tract. The name Haverford comes from Haverford-West in South Wales, U.K. It became a township in 1912. There were many mills built along the two creeks that bordered the township, Cobb’s Creek and Darby Creek. In 1658, William Howell built a grist mill on Cobb’s Creek. On the other side of Haverford, in 1707, Richard Hayes, Jr., David Morris, and Samuel Lewis were the first to erect a mill (Haverford New Mill) on Darby Creek.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad built its famous Main Line in the early 19th century, many towns along the rail line (now Septa’s R5) experienced a boom in their populations. Haverford was one of them. Wealthy families purchased farmlands to build their estates or “summer homes.” These grand homes had majestic names, such as Brookthorpe, Far-Away, and Allgates. Along with the development came numerous golf courses. The Merion Cricket Club is one of America’s oldest country clubs.
Haverford is also home to Haverford College, The Haverford School, and Friends School Haverford.

"The caregivers who watched Mom were caring and considerate. During the visits it was not necessary for them to do any home tasks as I was here full time. They did a good job in keeping Mom company while I was out."
