The Community of Rutledge was designed in 1884 by working people looking for a "Summer" retreat from the city life of Philadelphia. On July 25, 1885, the Rutledge Mutual Land Improvement Association
purchased most of the land now known as Rutledge that was located on the Northeast border of Ridley Township and at later date completed the borough with the purchase of the land where Rutledge Court Apartments now stand, but at the time was purchased for the location of the Rutledge Institute (Rutledge School).
On June 8, 1887, the Court of Quarters Sessions of the Peace for the County of Delaware, heard the petition from the residents of the Village to be incorporated "The Borough of Rutledge".
