Tredyffrin a township which amazingly is not in Wales, but in Pennsylvania, although there is a historic basis for its name: On 13 March 1684, William Penn decided to set aside a portion of Pennsylvania for the Welsh to settle in. This area, known as the "Welsh Tract", was surveyed in 1684 and included several modern-day townships, including Tredyffrin. wikipedia
