Radnor Township

Radnor Township is an administrative division in Delaware County that spreads across residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, encompassing several communities. Wayne serves as the business hub, hosting shops, services, and public facilities that anchor the region.

The area was founded in 1682 as part of the Welsh tract, when William Penn set aside 40,000 acres for Welsh settlers. This early establishment shaped the development and cultural identity of the entire region.

The Welsh origin shows through many street names and neighborhoods called after places in Wales, keeping alive the mark of the first settlers who came here.

Schools in the district serve students from elementary through high school age groups. Visitors will find good infrastructure, clear streets, and easy access to facilities in and around Wayne.

The Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, built in 1794, was the first toll road in the United States and ran through this area. This road played a key role in the early development of America's transportation system.
