Landenberg

Landenberg is an unincorporated community in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is, essentially, a post office address that covers parts of New Garden, London Britain and Franklin Townships. The White Clay Creek (and preserve) bisects Landenberg. Landenberg falls into two school districts: Avon Grove and Kennett Consolidated. There are several historical areas in Landenberg, including the Landenberg community (store, church, apartments, hotel) and the Ticking Tomb along with the bridge in New Garden Township. Formerly part of the range of the Lenape tribe of Native Americans, the White Clay creek runs through Landenberg and eventually enters the nearby White clay Creek Preserve. Landenburg is home to many businesspersons who commute to work in the nearby city of Wilmington, Delaware.Landenberg once had a railroad station that was shared between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Delaware Western Railroad, a system acquired by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The area is a favorite for local fisherman, hikers, bikers and outdoorsmen, and has a great natural setting for hiking and fishing. It was named for Martin Landenberger, who operated a mill there, and was once part of Pennsylvania's Eastern Seaboard Railroad system. The town is now home to a number of non-profit organizations, such as the  Pennsylvania Institute of Technology and the Pennsylvania College of Engineering and Technology and the University of Pennsylvania.
