A Little History on Narberth

This community sits on a piece of land that was originally deeded to Edward Rees, who arrived from Wales in 1682. Over the years, Rees changed his name to Prees and then, eventually, Price.

Interestingly enough, a portion of this original tract actually ended up becoming the 100-acre farm of Edward Price, who founded Elm as a Quaker-friendly town in 1881.

The community’s name was later changed to Narberth in 1893, with the community being incorporated in 1895.

Today, this community still has strong connections to its history. For instance, the Narbrook Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
