It's cheating that way

Seems that many of the Welsh placenames in the region aren't historic, dating from when the Welsh settled here nearly four hundred years ago, but were overlaid in a 'quaintness' drive much later, at the behest of the Pennsylvania Railroad when it created the Main Line in the late nineteenth century. Thus Athensville became Ardmore and Humphreysville became Bryn Mawr.

Rico says he's disappointed, but not surprised...
