Gladwyne is an affluent suburban community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States along the historic Philadelphia Main Line. In 2011, Gladwyne was ranked the 7th richest ZIP code in the country in a study by Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The population was 4,050 at the 2000 census. As Gladwyne is neither an incorporated area nor a census-designated place, all data are for the ZIP code 19035, with which the community is coterminous.There are four churches, a synagogue, a library, two schools, the Gladwyne fire company, the Gladwyne Civic Association, the Stony Lane Swim Club, playgrounds, parks, businesses, and retail shops within the confines of Gladwyne. The historic Guard House Inn is also located within Gladwyne.The village is also home to the Philadelphia Country Club on its periphery, Merion Cricket Club, and to The Courts a private tennis club. Because the town was early to preserve space and has received many donations of land, developers have not subdivided the area into more typical suburban developments, so the area retains a mixture of farm, colonial town, and late 19th/early 20th housing uncharacteristic of other Main Line communities.Banker James Crosby Brown of Brown Brothers & Co. built a 185-acre (0.75 km2) estate that later was divided into non-divisible (deed-restricted) lots of three to 17 acres (69,000 m2), an early act of (partial) preservation that set an important precedent for future acts by both individuals and the township. The Lower Merion Conservancy plays a significant role in protecting the local heritage and maintains its office in Gladwyne's Rolling Hill Park.

History

The development of Rt. 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 language 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. 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 wiktionary:en:coterminous

Gladwyne was settled in 1682 by Welsh Quakers. 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, P.A.). Shortly after the American Civil War, wealthy Philadelphians began to discover Gladwyne, establishing summer homes there.
