Ridley Park

Situated along Ridley Creek in Delaware County, Ridley Park is a community whose identity has been shaped by its waterside setting and origins as a railroad suburb. Laid out in 1870 by Isaac Hinckley, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, it was planned as a residential town outside Philadelphia. Ridley Park Lake remains a local focal point, while nearby streets retain many late-19th- and early-20th-century homes. The Ridley Park Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. SEPTA’s Ridley Park station connects the borough with Philadelphia and Wilmington.
