History
Ivyland was founded in 1873 by Edwin Lacey, a Quaker associated with John Lacey, a brigadier general in the American Revolution. Edwin Lacey bought 40 acres (16 ha) of land between Jacksonville Rd. (today PA 332) and the future of New Hope, New Hope, New Hope, and Ivyland Railroad, completed for New Hope in 1891. This, as well as the large hotel planned for the city, is intended to serve the centenary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
According to the borough's website, Edwin Lacey, who does not appear to be a botanist, named the town the "big ivy" growing in the area, which turned out to be poison ivy.
Ivyland was founded as a borough in 1903.
The passenger train service was disconnected in 1952 by Reading, which later sold the railway section to New Hope & amp; Ivyland R.R. in 1966.
The Ivyland Historical District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
