Lower Gwynedd Township

Few communities in southeastern Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to Welsh Quaker settlement as Lower Gwynedd Township. Its name recalls Gwynedd in Wales and the families who formed a Quaker community here around the turn of the 18th century. Wissahickon Creek and its headwater tributaries cross this part of Montgomery County before the creek continues south toward Philadelphia. Gwynedd Friends Meeting, whose congregation dates to 1700, remains an important link to that heritage. Residential neighborhoods, schools and open spaces give the township a settled, low-key character within the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
