Historic Note
Settled in 1682 by Robert Taylor, incorporated as a township June 21, 1686, became a 1st class township in 1924. Original boundaries included Morton and Swarthmore boroughs, and parts of Ridley Township and Darby. Thomas Pearson, maternal grandfather of the great painter, discovered a large spring of water in the 1st field he cleared for cultivation, which suggested the name for the township.
