Lower Merion Township
Lower Merion Township has served as a township in southeastern Pennsylvania since the early 18th century. Part of its boundary follows the Schuylkill River, where the Schuylkill Expressway carries Interstate 76 through a narrow, wooded transport corridor between Philadelphia and its western suburbs. The township developed from farming communities into a well-established Main Line suburb, influenced by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Bryn Mawr College, founded in 1885, is one of its lasting institutions. Bala Cynwyd, Ardmore and Bryn Mawr combine commercial centres and older residential streets with parkland along the river and creek valleys. This corner of Montgomery County shows how major roads, rail routes and settled neighbourhoods converge close to Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
