These seven towns are characterized as one of the primary bastions of old money in Southeastern Pennsylvania.  They are comparably more dense than other suburbs and have lively, walkable downtowns. All of these communities were established along Lancaster Avenue prior to the railroad's construction.

As early as 1887, [[Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania|Bala]] and [[Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania|Cynwyd]] were also included in atlases of the Pennsylvania Railroad<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lowermerionhistory.org/?page_id=685|title=1887 Edition}}</ref> in Lower Merion Township and Montgomery County.   By 1908, one of the first atlases<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lowermerionhistory.org/?page_id=766|title=1908 Edition}}</ref> to refer specifically to the "Main Line" as a socio-cultural entity includes:
*[[Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania|Bala]]
