The borough of Media is the county seat of Delaware County, Pennsylvania and is located 12 miles west of Philadelphia.
Media was incorporated in 1850 at the same time that it was named the county seat. The population was 5,533 at the 2000 census.
The history of the town goes back to William Penn, but the area remained predominently rural until the twentieth century,
and is suburban today. The Delaware County Institute of Science was founded in Media in 1833, while the Pennsylvania
Institute of Technology, a two-year technical college, Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades and
Delaware County Community College, a two-year liberal arts college, are located nearby.
Media promotes itself as "Everybody's Hometown."
