Description

The area now known as the Township of Tinicum in Delaware County Pennsylvania was originally inhabited by the Lenni-Lenape Indians. The name " Leni-Lenape " loosely interpreted in their Algonquian language meant "the real people" or "the original people."

The Township is located in the Southeast portion of the state and is approximately five square miles bordered by the Delaware River, Darby Creek, and what was Bow creek and the back channel around Hog Island.

To visit Tinicum Township use Exit 9A on Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania. Tinicum is approximately 12 miles from center city Philadelphia.
