Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania
Unincorporated community in Pennsylvania, US
About
Bala Cynwyd ( BAL-ə KIN-wuud) is a community and census-designated place in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located on the Philadelphia Main Line in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, and borders the western edge of Philadelphia at U.S. Route 1 (City Avenue).
The present-day community was originally two separate towns, Bala and Cynwyd, but was united as a single community largely because the U.S. Post Office, the Bala Cynwyd branch, served both towns, later using ZIP Code 19004. The combining of the communities gives a total population of 9,285 as of the 2020 census. The community was long known as hyphenated Bala-Cynwyd. Bala and Cynwyd are currently served by separate stations on SEPTA's Cynwyd Line of Regional Rail.
