Jenkintown, Borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Located 10 miles northeast of Philadelphia, Jenkintown spans 0.59 square miles with residential neighborhoods divided by the Old York Road business district.
Established by Welsh pioneer William Jenkins in 1697, the borough was officially incorporated on December 8, 1874, when 248 acres separated from Abington Township.
The residential landscape includes large detached single-family homes on the east side of Old York Road and row houses with duplexes on the west side.
The Jenkintown-Wyncote station serves as a major SEPTA Regional Rail stop, connecting residents to Philadelphia through multiple train and bus routes.
The television series The Goldbergs portrays life in Jenkintown, based on creator Adam F. Goldberg's experiences growing up in the borough.
