Borough of Bryn Athyn
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
Welcome to the Borough of Bryn Athyn
Bryn Athyn is a tiny jewel tucked in suburban Montgomery County, just outside of Northeast Philadelphia. 1.9 square miles of mostly open space, Bryn Athyn is an oasis in the suburbs. Originally part of Moreland Township, in 1916 Bryn Athyn leaders petitioned the Commonwealth to become an independent community. The Township of Moreland was then divided into Upper Moreland Township, Bryn Athyn Borough and Lower Moreland Township. Bryn Athyn became a Home Rule Municipality in 1979.
HISTORIC DISTRICT
Bryn Athyn Borough boasts two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places:

The Alnwick Grove Historical Society has placed a plaque at the location of Alnwick Grove where picnickers gathered in the 1870's to escape the summer heat in Philadelphia and eventually led to the settlement of Bryn Athyn.

The Duck Race will take place at 3:00pm. All proceeds will benefit the annual July 4th Fireworks event in Bryn Athyn. No tax dollars are used for the fireworks event. We rely 100% on donations to fund fireworks.
