  • History of Upland, PA
    Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony.

  • Eddystone Borough Revitalization Study
    EDDYSTONE BOROUGH REVITALIZATION STUDY Prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission June 1990 EDDYSTONE BOROUGH REVITALIZATION STUDY Prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission The Bourse Building Twenty-One South Fifth Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 June 1990 The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. The logo combines these elements to depict the areas served by DVRPC. Created in 1965, DVRPC provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning for the orderly growth and development of the Delaware Valley region. The interstate region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, and the City of Philadelphia; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. The Commission is an advisory agency which divides its planning and service functions between the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Public Affairs, and four Divisions: Transportation Planning, Strategic Planning, Regional Information Services Center, and Finance and Administration. DVRPC's mission for the 1980s is to conduct high priority short term strategic studies for member governments and operating agencies, develop a long range comprehensive plan and provide technical assistance, data and services to the public and private sector. The preparation of this report was funded through federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), as well as by DVRPC's member governments.
