Named one of Pennsylvania’s most prestigious towns it is a highly desirable location on Philadelphia’s main line.!!
## What is the Philadelphia Mainline?
The  prominent suburban areas. The Philadelphia mainline is steeped in rich history. It is named the main line for its location along the main railroad line that ran through the area during the founding years of construction.
Currently, the main line is used to reference these prominent suburbs of Philadelphia that offer the best living communities and quick commutes to the city. Here you can find some of the most beautiful historic luxury homes. The Main Line is made up of 17 different towns throughout Pennsylvania. Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties hold these towns within their boundaries.
Philadelphia’s most prominent businessmen saw the industrial progress of other large cities and wanted to be able to keep Philadelphia on the map as one of America’s most important places. Entrepreneurs in New York formed the Erie Canal to open a large trade route and competition rose to the south in Maryland in the Baltimore area as the railroad had plans to connect into the Midwest. Wealthy business seekers in Philadelphia got into the development competition by building the railroad.  It traversed 82 miles from Philadelphia through Lancaster and ended in Columbia on the banks of the Susquehanna River. Business owners got the state to support the railroad and it became the first government-funded railroad project.
The railroad became too large and too expensive to finish so  took it over and built three stops along the tracks that eventually grew into the 17 that stand today. At first, the train carried cargo and then became a commuter line. The ease and convenience of travel along the main line to jobs in the city brought Philadelphia’s elite to set up homes in Philadelphia’s countryside. Now the mainline is a prominent location for Philadelphia’s most desirable suburbs.
## Bryn Mawr History

This system of government was arranged with William Penn in 1684.

As mentioned above, Bryn Mawr means big hill in Welsch and was named after an estate in  in . The estate was the property of one of the Welsh Quakers who settled in the area in 1686.
