Newtown Square

Although still a quick drive to downtown, when you’re in Newtown Square you feel like you’re a world away and out in the bucolic countryside. In the 18th century, Newtown was basically a farming community. Blacksmith and wheelwright shops emerged on the main arteries to service horse and buggy travelers. Taverns and inns were also opened to accommodate local patrons as well as drovers taking their livestock to the markets in Philadelphia. The Radnor Hunt Club was built at the intersection of Darby-Paoli and Goshen Roads in 1886. With these developments, many country estates were built in the rolling hills of Newtown Square for “…either country gentlemen of Old Quaker blood…or rich Philadelphians who loved hunting, owned good horses, and were not afraid to ride them.” Newtown Square also boasts Aronimink Golf Club, which has hosted the 1962 PGA Championship, the 1977 U.S. Amateur, the 1997 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, the 2003 Senior PGA Championship, the 2010 and 2011 AT&T National, the 2018 BMW Championship, and the 2020 Women’s PGA Championship. Residents of Newtown Square span 5 townships. They are Edgmont Township, Marple Township, Newtown Township, Radnor Township, and Willistown Township. All are within Delaware County, with the exception of Willistown (Chester County.)
