History
The land that comprises Abington today was
purchased from the native Lenape by William Penn
during the 1680s. By the next decade, a handful of
European settlers built and lived in Hill Township, at
the crossroads of Susquehanna Street Road and Old
York Road. After brief times under other names, the
township incorporated as Abington in 1704. The Location of Abington Township in Montgomery
town's name is likely taken from parishes in England County
formed over 900 years ago in Northamptonshire or
Cambridgeshire.[7] A local 1734 census counted 42
resident landowners.[8] During the American
Revolutionary War, there was a small battle that took
place at Edge Hill. (See: Battle of White Marsh).[6]

Some institutions have been in Abington for most of


its existence. The cornerstone of the original Abington
Abington Friends School, in operation since before Township
Abington's incorporation, is used in today's school

The communities are unofficial, unincorporated subdivisions of the township, corresponding roughly to
voting districts and elementary school placement. Their primary importance, aside from community
identity, is the postal system (e.g., to send a letter to someone living in the Glenside community, the
letter would be addressed to Glenside, Pennsylvania rather than Abington Township, Pennsylvania).
Additionally, some portions of some of these subdivisions, including Glenside, Huntingdon Valley, North
Hills, Willow Grove, and Elkins Park, are actually in neighboring townships.[2]

Local civic associations include Crestmont Civic Association, Glenside Gardens Civic Association,
Hollywood Civic Association, Lower Huntingdon Valley Civic Association, McKinley Civic Association,
Rydal-Meadowbrook Civic Association (http://www.rydal-meadowbrook.org/) and Tall Trees
Association. The civic associations work together on Traffic Summits in even years (2012, 2014, 2016,
etc.) and Economic Summits in odd years (2013, 2015, 2017, etc.). These Summits focus on eliminating
traffic congestion that interferes with the growth of businesses in the Township. Pennsylvania

formation of a Local Traffic Advisory Committee to work with officials to identify ways to improve safety
of the community.
