Since 1893, Swarthmore has been a tree-lined residential community of distinctive homes and quiet neighborhoods, anchored by the campus of Swarthmore College. At the center of the Borough is a downtown core of unique, independent shops and services.
Swarthmore was originally named Westdale in honor of noted painter Benjamin West, who was one of the early residents of the town. The name was later changed to Swarthmore after the establishment of Swarthmore College.
