About
Merion Station is an unincorporated community in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, settled by Welsh Quakers beginning in 1682 and named after Merionethshire, Wales. The Merion Friends Meeting House at 615 Montgomery Avenue — begun in 1695 and completed by approximately 1715 — is a designated National Historic Landmark and the oldest Friends meeting house in the Delaware Valley. The community developed rapidly as a Main Line suburb along the Pennsylvania Railroad in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, producing a housing stock that NeighborhoodScout characterizes as having ‘an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture.’ A SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail stop within the community provides direct service to Center City Philadelphia, and Merion Golf Club — which has hosted five U.S. Opens and holds a USGA-confirmed schedule through 2050 — sits adjacent to the neighborhood.
