Ardmore is a community of approximately 13,000 residents, located on the Main Line, west of Philadelphia. Our historic downtown, one of the largest business districts in our area, contains a delightful mix of restaurants and small specialty shops, including antique and gift shops. Historic Ardmore is adjacent to Suburban Square, one of America's oldest shopping centers.

The Ardmore commercial district has played a pivotal role in the economy of the Lower Merion region for over centuries. During the 18th century, Lancaster Avenue, the center of our commercial district, was constructed as Lancaster Pike, colonial Pennsylvania's first toll road. Tolls were collected until 1917.

In 1811, Dr. James Anderson, a wealthy resident, named the area Athensville. Present day Anderson Avenue is named after him. Athensville was a name also used by several other areas, probably due to the classical revivalism style in fashion at the time. Therefore, by 1853 when the federal government commissioned a post office for the growing town, the name was changed to Cabinet Post Office, after the pigeon-holed cabinet used for mail distribution. In 1873, the Pennsylvania Railroad wanted to change the name of its Athensville station and invited suggestions. The name Ardmore, Gaelic signifying high grounds or hills, was chosen. It was deemed appropriate not only because of its descriptive quality, but also because of the many Irish immigrants who then inhabited the town. Many of the surrounding Main Line towns were also being given fashionable sounding Gaelic and Celtic names.

In 1900, when Lower Merion Township was named a first-class township, Ardmore, nearest to the center of population of the Township, became the seat of government. Downtown Ardmore is significant for the architectural integrity of its commercial district which evolved over a 25-year period around the turn of the century. Several merchant families have operated businesses in downtown Ardmore since its inception. Others trace their commercial enterprises back for several decades. At the turn of the century, the Autocar Company selected Ardmore as the site of its new plant. This stimulated commercial and residential growth. Also in the late 1800’s, businesses such as the Chadwick Funeral Home, McConaghy Funeral Home, and A. Talone, Inc. opened their doors and continue to do business today.
