Geography

Malvern is located at {{Coord|40|2|4|N|75|30|52|W|type:city}} (40.034557, -75.514396).[2]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of {{convert|1.2|sqmi}}, all of it land.

History

The area was originally settled by Welsh immigrants in the 17th century who bought land from William Penn.[3] Malvern is the site of the Paoli Massacre, which occurred September 20, 1777, during the American Revolutionary War under the command of General Anthony Wayne of nearby Easttown. In 1835, the East Whiteland Baptist Church moved to what is now its church and cemetery property, bounded by Channing, South Warren, and East First Avenues, and Roberts Lane. Changing its name to the Willistown Baptist Church, this institution then became the First Baptist Church of Malvern in 1900.

The church, trains, and a few businesses were the nucleus of this village, which was known for a long period as West Chester Intersection due to its position at the junction of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad and the West Chester Railroad.[4] In 1873, the town’s name was changed to Malvern when the Philadelphia and Columbia's successor, the Pennsylvania Railroad, straightened its tracks through the village. In 1879, the Malvern Friends Meeting was built at the northwest corner of Woodland Avenue and Roberts Lane, followed by the arrival of the Presbyterians and the Methodists prior to 1900.[5] The village's status as a railroad junction came to an end in March 1880 when the West Chester Railroad's northern terminal was moved west to Frazer, Pennsylvania.[6] Malvern Borough has a mix of residential styles and neighborhoods, retail and industrial businesses, dedicated open land, and numerous civic, cultural, and religious organizations.[7]

Malvern was incorporated August 13, 1889, having separated from the northern portion of Willistown Township. On April 22, 2008, the Borough converted to a Home Rule form of government.[8]

In addition to the Paoli Battlefield Site and Parade Grounds, the Wharton Esherick Studio was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993.[9]

Name

No official origin to the naming of the Borough of Malvern remains, although several theories abound. The most common suggestions are Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, Great Britain and Malvern Hill in Virginia. As the Malvern in Pennsylvania is itself raised above the surrounding communities, it is possible either location in Britain or Virginia could have been the influence, but the truth is lost to history. Given that the original settlers were Welsh, Malvern is more likely named after the British location.

Economy

The Malvern Business and Professional Association promotes Malvern commerce and the unique character of the town.[14]

Siemens Healthcare, Ricoh Americas Corporation (formerly IKON Office Solutions), The Vanguard Group, Liberty Property Trust, The Center for Professional Innovation & Education Corporation (a global training provider), Cerner, Vishay Intertechnology, CertainTeed, and AmericanMuscle are among the companies based in Malvern.

[15]Fisher Feed and Amerigas were two former employers located on East King Street in the Planning Area #10 of the Malvern Borough Comprehensive Plan.[16] This plan amends a zoning ordinance to provide for redeveloping the land once used by the two former employers. The Malvern Patch, a local newspaper, stated that Kimberton Whole Foods will be opening its fifth location in the East King Street area.[17] The projected occupancy date for the East King Street area is late summer 2013 according to the developer.[18] This development is unrelated to the mixed-use development in an area called "Uptown Worthington" which is actually part of East Whiteland.[19]

  • Drag racer "Grumpy" Bill Jenkins had a repair shop in Malvern.[31]
  • According to the book's preface, in 1899, Japanese polymath Nitobe Inazō wrote The Soul of Japan while he was living in Malvern. This is the seminal work in English on the subject, still widely read today, and after translation into Japanese, the book was a key influence in the formulation of Japan's modern Bushido concept as applied in the Japanese Empire until its surrender to the Allied forces in 1945. Thus one seed of the Second Sino-Japanese War and The Pacific War was sown from Malvern, PA— in the unwitting form of this gentle and elegant book.[32]
  • NASCAR crew chief Pat Tryson is from Malvern.
  • Harry Hiestand, offensive line coach for Notre Dame and former Chicago Bears assistant coach, was born in Malvern.
