It is bordered by the City of Philadelphia to the East and South, Abington Township to the North, Springfield Township to the West. Cheltenham was established in 1682 by 15 Quakers from Cheltenham, England, including Richard Wall and Tobias Leech, who purchased 4,070 acres of land from William Penn.
