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.
