Renting an Apartment in Secane
Secane is a small community in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United
States. It is located between Primos and Morton and is one of the stops
on SEPTA's R3 Rail Line, which can take passengers all the way to
Trenton, New Jersey. The train stop was built in 1871 and has the words
"Spring Hill" inscribed into the cornerstone of the building.
Cornerstone of Secane train station
Secane was the name of an Native American chief who sold the area to
Benjamin Franklin for supplies. According to former Philadelphia 76ers
owner Pat Croce, he and his wife lived there for a short period of time.
Two main roads run through the town, South Avenue and Franklin Avenue,
which leads to Kedron Avenue (Route 420). Secane has a population of
almost 1000 and was farmland before it was developed into a residential
area in the 20th century. It is divided between the municipalities of
Ridley Township, Pennsylvania and Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania and
is often confused with Clifton Heights, PA because the latter shares the
zip code.
Secane was a temporary location for filming for USA Network's Dance
Party USA, which ABC morning talk show co-host Kelly Ripa was a part of
early in her career.
