Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Norwood, PA

Norwood is a small borough, less than a square mile in size, was founded in 1873 by John Cochran, a local realtor. The borough received its name from the 1813 book, Norwood: Village Life in New England by Henry Ward Beecher, about the author’s life in Norwood, Massachusetts. While tradition says it was Cochran’s older brother who offered up the name, many believe it stemmed from Robert Morris Copeland, the town’s architect, and Boston native.

Norwood began as part of the 1683 land grant to Morton Mortonson. This land was inherited by his son, Andrew Morton, in 1718, who gave One hundred twenty-eight acres to his daughter, Katherine Grantham in 1734. This roughly hundred twenty-eight acres of land is what we now know as Norwood.

In 1850, Thomas Gesner built a stone farmhouse on what would-be modern-day Mohawk Avenue. He sold this property to John Cochran in 1873 who brought in Mr. Copeland to lay out the streets and parks. By late April 1873, the local papers began advertising properties for sale. At the time, there was a special free train that left Philadelphia at one o’clock.

Cochran once met the train with a brass band and provided lemonade and sandwiches to passengers along with plans for the new community. A crowd of nearly one hundred fifty people followed Cochran to Norwood Park where he made a few announcements and began a property auction. He sold nearly fifty lots and held other auctions over the next two years. The borough was officially incorporated on November 6, 1893.

As time moved on, Norwood has grown into a proper suburb. It sits only eight and one-half miles from Philadelphia and sits along the railroad.
