The town of Wayne, located in Radnor Township, is one of the older and livelier towns along the Main line. Wayne was one of the nation’s first suburban developments with electricity, water and drainage. Such a set of advantages has attracted residents to Wayne for the past 100 years. Wayne is a clean, beautifully landscaped town, with rich historical buildings that stand as evidence of its past development. Wayne Hall and the Opera House are local attractions, the three-storied hall being one of the tallest buildings to first be erected in the Main Line region.

Wayne is also conveniently located at a short distance from many golf courses, colleges, parks, libraries, shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment. Wayne’s first movie theater was located on North Wayne Avenue, and in 1928, a new movie theater called the Anthony Wayne Theater was built on Lancaster Avenue. Furthermore, the Radnor Cricket Club, first established as the Merryvale Athletic Association, held their meetings at the Wayne Hall. With its own specialty shops, Wayne is one of the most popular shopping areas of the Main Line region. 

The Wayne Farmer’s Market, open three days a week, is a local favorite of the Main Line. Wayne, like many other Main Line towns, has a strong community which helps ensure its growth and development as well as conserve its heritage. The area supports many clubs and organizations such as The Radnor Historical Society, the Main Line Community Orchestra, the Wayne Art Center and the League of Women Voters.

 Houses in Wayne range from the Victorian to Colonial, many of which are located in beautifully landscaped grounds or charming tree-lined streets. Midland Avenue is one of Wayne’s longest residential streets and its houses are considered to be some of the most architecturally interesting in the region.
