History
Wyndmoor, PA is located in Springfield Township in Montgomery County, PA. They share a zip code with Glenside, PA, North Hills PA and Erdenheim, PA. William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, reserved Springfield Township as one of his family’s original manors in the 1680s.
The origin of the name “Wyndmoor” is somewhat obscure. The community was earlier called “Bungtown,” “Spring (or Springfield) Village,” and “Tedyuscung,” after the Native American leader, Teedyuscung, whose statue stands overlooking the Wissahickon Creek in Valley Green. “Wyndmoor” is variously said to be an appellation offered by the Heebner family who donated land for the Reading Railroad station, or originally the name of the estate of Randal Morgan, who made a fortune in oil and purchased property adjacent to the Reading Railroad station about 1900. The name eventually replaced the name “Springfield Village” for the small collection of shops and houses just east of Stenton Avenue, and finally encompassed the entire residential area east of Stenton Avenue.
Wyndmoor, PA was the site of Whitemarsh Hall, the 300-acre estate of banking executive Edward T. Stotesbury. The estate became a housing development in the late 1940s, and the 147-room mansion was demolished in 1980, but the columns of its portico and pieces of statuary survive in the neighborhoods of Wyndmoor, PA.
The Stotesbury Club House and John Welsh House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Wyndmoor, PA Hose Company
Wyndmoor Hose Company No. 1 was formed in 1906 and chartered in 1907. The seeds of the local fire company grew out of an industrial base at Mermaid Lane and Queen Street. There, the Nelson Valve Company began an in-house fire brigade to meet the needs of the dangerous industrial mechanisms used to make hydraulic valves. Eventually, the local community was solicited for its help in keeping this fire unit viable and expanding its services to the larger community. Residents volunteered, recognizing the communal benefit, and with help from the valve company a two-wheeled hand cart was purchased and 500 feet of hose. By 1909, the shed used at the valve Company was expanded, as were the hose carts to four wheels and two horses. Horse power proved a problem. A monetary reward was granted to the first horse team to arrive at the sound of the alarm and haul the apparatus to the scene. This actually produced a rivalry among horse teams.
At the dawn of the Roaring Twenties the fire company got a new home, on Queen Street closer to Willow Grove Ave. It still stands and served as a firehouse for nearly 50 years. In 1927, Wyndmoor, PA purchased two Hale Pumpers and in 1940 a city service ladder truck. As the nation’s infant automotive industry diversified and began to specialize, communities began purchasing recognizable fire apparatus. A huge property along Willow Grove Ave. was purchased by the fire company, and large fairs were held for a dozen years. The proceeds from these carnivals offset astronomical costs and allowed the continued modernization of the fire service in Wyndmoor, PA.
Wyndmoor Hose Company is a 100% volunteer department. The fifty-plus members who make up the working force are notified by digital paging systems, day and night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
