The suburban village known as Wayne, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, fourteen miles from Philadelphia, differs so much from the ordinary town allowed to grow up hap-hazard and to develop conveniences as population increases, that it is necessary, in describing it as it appears, to keep in mind some facts about its history. In a brochure from 1887 about their development they noted they had provided Wayne with "water, light and drainage - the three great conveniences of a large city - by the most approved modern methods." They described Wayne Estate as follows:
Childs, to form a larger development they called Wayne Estate. His and surrounding land were bought in 1880 by banker A.J. "Louella" was described as an 80-room stone building with a large porch overlooking manicured lawn.

Other institutions and attractions in Wayne include the Wayne Hotel, Chanticleer Garden, and the Valley Forge Military Academy and College.Īs of the 2020 U.S. The Wayne business district also includes a post office, a cinema, a hotel, a library, the new Radnor Middle School, and several banks, stores, restaurants, cafes, bars and other commercial establishments. The historic Wayne station is located one block north of this intersection. The center of the Wayne business district is the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Wayne Avenue, its main street. Considering the large area served by the Wayne post office, the community may extend slightly into Easttown Township, Chester County, as well. The center of Wayne was designated the Downtown Wayne Historic District in 2012. While the center of Wayne is in Radnor Township, Wayne extends into both Tredyffrin Township in Chester County and Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County. Wayne is an unincorporated community centered in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States, on the Main Line, a series of highly affluent Philadelphia suburbs located along the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad and one of the wealthiest areas in the nation.
