Edgmont Township, otherwise known by the post office name of Edgemont is one of the first townships in Pennsylvania, founded in the late 1680s. It is a semi-rural suburban area in Western Delaware County. It is bordered by the townships of Middletown, Newtown, Upper Providence and Thornbury in Delaware County and Willistown in Chester County. Today, it is home to a wide socioeconomic range. Along the rural area beside Valley Road, you will see many high-income neighborhoods such as Allee, Fiveormore and Okehocking Hills.

On the major north-south thoroughfare through Edgmont, Providence Road, several upscale single family homes on large lots predominate as well as other high-income neighborhoods such as Springton Chase and Runnymeade Farms. The single largest geographic feature of the township is Ridley Creek State Park, which is comprised of 2,600 acres.
