Huntingdon Valley is a village located in Lower Moreland Township and Abington Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, bordering the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Originally referred to as "Goosetown," [1] Huntingdon Valley boasts some of the highest standards of living in the Greater Philadelphia area with 90% of the Township being single-dwelling homes and having one of the highest per capita incomes in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. [2]
Located within Huntingdon Valley is Lorimer Park, 213-acres of woods and meadows connected to Pennypack Park of the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia County. The park borders Fox Chase Farm, the only remaining active farm in Philadelphia County.
