History
Ardmore, PA is an unincorporated community in Delaware and Montgomery counties. The population is approximately 13,000. Ardmore, PA is a suburb on the west side of Philadelphia, within Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Haverford Township in Delaware County. Originally named “Athensville” in 1853, the community and its railroad station were renamed “Ardmore” in 1873 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, on whose Main Line, west out of Philadelphia, Ardmore sits at Milepost 8.5.
Landmarks
Ardmore contains the nation’s first suburban branch of a major department store, the former Strawbridge & Clothier which opened there in 1930, the former Suburban movie theater—now Not Your Average Joe’s Restaurant; the newly relocated Ardmore Farmer’s Market; an Apple Store, and the usual selection of mall shops.
Other landmarks within the Ardmore Progressive Civic Association borders include the Ardmore Post Office and Ardmore Public Library (part of the Lower Merion Library System) on South Ardmore Avenue; the Ardmore Ice Skating Club on Greenfield Avenue; a public swimming pool; lighted tennis/basketball courts; the community center known as “The Shack”; and two senior housing projects.

Transportation
Ardmore’s train station is served by SEPTA Regional Rail’s Paoli/Thorndale Line (commuter) and Amtrak (intercity) passenger trains. KSTG makes regular Corporate Shuttle runs between this station and local businesses, helping employees travel back and forth from their homes in Philadelphia, PA to Ardmore, PA.
Residents and visitors enjoy several recreation areas, including South Ardmore Park, which is located in neighboring Wynnewood, though many mistake it for Ardmore. Suburban Square, opened in 1928 as one of the earliest shopping centers in the United States, is located adjacent to the Ardmore train station.
Legal History
In 2004–2006, Ardmore’s business district was the subject of a hotly contested eminent domain battle. A grassroots organization, the Save Ardmore Coalition, along with local businesses and other civic groups, opposed an eminent domain/redevelopment program that would have involved the demolition of historic buildings, in favor of preserving those buildings for other commercial use.
In March 2006 the Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution disavowing the use of eminent domain for the benefit of private redevelopment projects. The Ardmore battle was also instrumental in prompting the Pennsylvania General Assembly to enact legislation in 2006 restricting the use of eminent domain for private projects.
