About location

Built around agricultural land, Marple Township grew into a largely residential community in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Its gently rolling, wooded ground belongs to the Delaware River watershed, within Philadelphia’s western suburban belt. Interstate 476, known locally as the Blue Route, crosses the township as a major north–south route in the regional road network. Established in 1684, Marple was named for Marple in Cheshire, England. Broomall, the township’s largest community, concentrates shops and civic services, while neighbourhood streets, parks and wooded roadside corridors give much of the area its settled suburban character.

Region Pennsylvania

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.
