History
The Penn Wynne area was first known as the Green Hill Zone plantation. It was established in the 17th century by Welsh Quaker Thomas Lloyd.
In the early 1900s, the land was subdivided and developed. There are two sections to Penn Wynne. The southern section primarily contains twin homes built from the early 1920s to the mid-1940s. The northern section of Penn Wynne contains larger, single family homes, generally built after the homes in the southern section.
