Lionville, Pennsylvania

About

Lionville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Uwchlan Township, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 6,189 at the 2010 census. Prior to 2010 the CDP was recorded as Lionville-Marchwood. "Marchwood", however, refers only to the housing development begun in the early 1960s that is located south of the 100-113 intersection.

Lionville is bisected by two major local highways, PA 100 and PA 113. The area contains residential neighborhoods, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses. The original name of the village was Welsh Pool but was changed to Red Lion. When the town asked for a post office the name Red Lion was denied because there were already too many towns with that name in PA. The government assigned them the name Lionville, and they kept it. The area of Lionville along Village Avenue is a protected historic district. The Friends Meeting House was used as a hospital by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
