BRYN MAWR
Bryn Mawr (pronounced /ˌbrɪnˈmɑr/ brin-mar)[1] is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, just west of Philadelphia along Lancaster Avenue (US-30) and the border with Delaware County. Bryn Mawr is located towards the center of what is known as the Main Line, a group of wealthy Philadelphia suburbs stretching from the city limits to Paoli. It is also home to Bryn Mawr College and as of the 2000 census, it had a population of 4,382. The name Bryn Mawr means "big hill" in Welsh and takes its name from an estate near Dolgellau in North Wales. This was the farm of Rowland Ellis, who emigrated to Pennsylvania from Dolgellau in 1686 to escape religious persecution.

Until 1869 and the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the town was known as Humphreysville. The town was renamed by railroad agent William H. Wilson after he acquired on behalf of the railroad the 283 acres (1.15 km2) that now comprise Bryn Mawr.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 kmē), all land and entirely within Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. However, the "Bryn Mawr" zip code (19010) covers a larger area and, as a result, the geographic term "Bryn Mawr" is often used in a sense that includes not only the CDP, but also other areas that share the zip code. These other areas include the community of Rosemont within Lower Merion Township and Radnor Township, and various other areas within Lower Merion Township, Radnor Township, and Haverford Township. As of the 2000 Census the Bryn Mawr ZIP code, 19010, was home to 21,485 people with a median family income of $110,956.

GLADWYNE
Gladwyne is a suburban community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 4,050 at the 2000 census. As Gladwyne is neither an incorporated area nor a census-designated place, all data is for the ZIP code 19035, with which the community is coterminous. It was ranked the wealthiest zipcode in the country in 2008, and is in close proximity to the next two (3 wealthiest zipcodes were Gladwyne, Villanova, Merion Station). It is situated in the Pennsylvania Main Line in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, and the Main Line of which it is a part contains 8 of the top 25 wealthiest zipcodes in the country. Its ZIP code has the 1st highest per-capita income in the country with a population of 1,000 or more. Taxes are reasonable (relative to price) due to the low service demands (lower crime, social services) and a Lower Merion AAA bond rating, one of only three such townships in the nation.

Within Gladwyne, there are four churches, a synagogue, a library, several schools, the Gladwyne fire company, the Stony Lane Swim Club, playgrounds, parks, businesses, and retail shops. It is home to the Philadelphia Country Club, the Gladwyne Civic Club, and The Courts, a private tennis club and is less then 1 mile from the Merion Cricket Club. It has great appeal due to its many large estates, significant preserved open spaces, Bridlewild trails, beauty of its homes (no "Mc" in its mansions), close proximity to major arteries (76, 476) and train stations (Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr are all less then 2 miles distant), and exclusivity (1,483 households). Because the town was early to preserve space and has had many large donations of land, developers were not able to subdivide into more typical suburban developments as readily and it retains a mixture of farm, colonial town, and late 19th/early 20th housing.

An early notable industrialist James Crosby Brown (Pennsylvania Railroad) had a 185 acre estate that was divided into non-divisable (deed restricted) lots of 3 to 17 acres upon his death, an early act of (partial) preservation that set a tone for future acts by both individuals and the township. The Lower Merion Conservancy plays a significant role in protecting the local heritage and has its office in Gladwyne in Rolling Hill Park. Long time residents frequently complain of the mansions replacing older, smaller homes, where Gladwyne and Villanova are preferred because of the ability to site them on large parcels more suitable to their scale. The conservancy has achieved notable successes but high land prices make it difficult to acquire property when it becomes available.

History
Gladwyne was settled in 1682 by Welsh Quakers. It was near the Welsh Tract, and was known formerly as "Merion Square". It was given its new name of Gladwyne in 1891 in order to imitate the stylish Welsh names of adjoining towns, although the name is meaningless in Welsh. Many Mills operated in Gladwyne in the early years through the 19th century, and Mill Creek, site of many of them, is both a major road and creek through town. Shortly after the American Civil War, wealthy Philadelphians began to discover Gladwyne, establishing summer homes there. The development of Rt. 76 in the 1960s and the subsequent development of King of Prussia as a major business center increased Gladwyne's appeal for some, as it was the Main Line town situated closest to 76 and situated midway between the two major business areas (King of Prussia, Philadelphia).
