The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Most of the settlers emigrated from Wales. One of them, David Lloyd, who was a friend of William Penn's, sold large and small lots from the thousands that he owned. Because the land was hilly, the Welshmen call the area Uwchlan (in Welsh pronounced Iwchlan, with the 'ch' sound being the sound made when clearing one's throat) or "Youchland," meaning Upland.
The Lionville Historic District and Uwchlan Meetinghouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
