History
Haverford Township, PA is a township in Delaware County, PA. Haverford is named after the town of Haverfordwest in Wales, UK. It is a commuting suburb located due west of Philadelphia and is officially known as the Township of Haverford. Despite being under a home rule charter since 1977, it continues to operate under a Board of Commissioners divided into wards, as do “First Class” townships that are still under the Pennsylvania Township Code. Haverford Township, PA was founded in 1682 and incorporated in 1911.
Haverford Township was laid out by William Penn as part of the Welsh Tract or Baron. The original settlers, led by John Roberts, negotiated with William Penn in 1684 to constitute the Tract as a separate county whose local government would use the Welsh language. In 1681, a representative group of Welsh Quakers met with Penn to discuss their settlement having purchased forty thousand acres of land which today comprises all of Haverford, Radnor and Lower Merion Townships. “Companies of Adventurers” were formed, with the most prominent person in each taking out the patent on 5,000 acres of land as trustee. The first three families arrived in Haverford Township in 1682. Lewis David, Henry Lewis and William Howell selected land along the southern border.
Today, Haverford Township, PA is known as a Main Line suburb of Philadelphia, so named as they were located along the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line. Haverford Township, PA contains portions of the unincorporated communities of Haverford, Ardmore, and Wynnewood as well as the towns of Bryn Mawr and Drexel Hill. The unincorporated community of Havertown lies wholly within Haverford Township. The township population is estimated at 48,491.
Haverford Township holds the distinction of having hosted two different men’s major golf championships at two different golf clubs. Merion Golf Club hosted the 1934, 1950, 1971, 1981, and 2013 U.S. Open, and Llanerch Country Club hosted the 1958 PGA Championship.
Haverford, along with Upper Darby, Cheltenham, Lower Merion together form as the major inner ring suburbs of Philadelphia.
