Our Story
Founded in 1936, the Old York Road Historical Society emerged from a community meeting at the Jenkintown Library, driven by a passion for preserving local history. Over the decades, the Society has developed invaluable resources, including a 1941 historical map and a series of photographic history books published by Arcadia Publishing. With a collection exceeding 165,000 photographs and 2,500 postcards, OYRHS stands as the guardian of the rich heritage of the communities along the Old York Road.
