Haverford Township

It maintains its legal name as the Township of Haverford, presumably for historic reasons.

Welcome to Haverford Township

Haverford Township (named after the town of Haverfordwest in Wales, UK) is a home rule township in Delaware County, near Philadelphia, in southeastern Pennsylvania, United States. It maintains its legal name as the Township of Haverford, presumably for historic reasons. 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 contains portions of the communities of Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Ardmore, Drexel Hill, and Wynnewood. The unincorporated "town" of Havertown lies wholly within Haverford Township. The initial 2010 US Census population was 48,491.

History

Haverford Township was founded by Welsh Quakers in 1681 from land purchased by William Penn. The first three families arrived in Haverford Township in 1682. Nitre Hall Powder Mills was in operation before 1810 and provided gunpowder for the War of 1812. Swell Bubble Gum, the township's last major industry, was closed in 2004. The township is currently in the final stages of its preliminary construction of the Haverford State Hospital land.

Haverford Township also holds the distinction of having hosted 2 different men's major golf championship's at 2 different golf clubs, Merion Golf Club hosted the 1934, 1950, 1971 and 1981 US Open and Llanerch Country Club hosted the 1958 PGA Championship. Merion Golf Club will host the 2013 US Open.
