Today
the Main Line is another name for the western suburbs of
Philadelphia along Lancaster Avenue (U.S. Route 30) and the
former Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line, extending from the city
limits to approximately Paoli, Pennsylvania comprising an area
of approximately 200 square miles. The upper/upper middle class
enclave outside of Philadelphia is often believed to be the
setting for the classic Hepburn/Grant/Stewart motion picture The
Philadelphia Story. The principal municipalities comprising the
Main Line are (from east to west) Lower Merion Township,
Narberth Borough, Radnor Township, Tredyffrin Township, Easttown
Township, and Village of Paoli. With diverse topography, steep
cliffs along the Schuylkill River, rolling hills, and open
meadows, the Main Line has benefited from the early planning of
William Penn. The Main Line is known for its multimillion-dollar
stone Colonial homes, exclusivity, and upscale shopping. The
Main Line is also home to some of the best public and private
schools in the state, and many small private colleges.
