As the name indicates, Bala Cynwyd was originally settled in 1682 by Welsh colonists of the same group that settled and developed Lower Merion. These sturdy pioneers came into this splendid rolling country, lying west of the Schuylkill River, very early in the development of Pennsylvania. The sterling qualities of these men and women have been perpetuated in the home loving, civic minded communities that have grown up in the region where their scattered farms, mills and hamlets were established. These colonists were Quakers, from the lake region of northern Wales, and they came here to freely practice their faith and to live in peace with their neighbors. These goals are evidenced when they established the landmarks of the Merion Friends Meetinghouse and the Lower Merion Academy. Jul 10 03, 8:01 AM
