About location

The landscape around Marple Township is rolling and heavily wooded, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This Delaware County community forms part of Philadelphia’s suburbs within the Delaware River watershed, where residential neighborhoods, schools and commercial corridors occupy the region’s Piedmont terrain. Interstate 476, known locally as the Blue Route, crosses this part of the county and provides a major north–south link between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 95. Its construction followed decades of planning and public debate, making it a defining piece of suburban infrastructure. Marple’s colonial connection survives at the Thomas Massey House, a 1696 Quaker home preserved as a local-history museum.

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.
