History
The Edgemont Realty Company, owned by Col. J.C. Morrow and Arthur Young, sold lots between Locust Lane and Brook Avenue at public auction in 1906 for as little as $15. In 1917, the two-room Glenwood Schoolhouse was built to serve grades 1-6.[2] Following the demolition of Harrisburg's Old Eight Ward by the 1920s, many of the Ward's black residents first relocated to Edgemont.[3] By this time, the area was still mostly undeveloped farms and woodlands. The Edgemont Volunteer Fire Company was first organized as a bucket brigade in 1920, the oldest in the Township. In 1936, after beginning a career teaching at the Glenwood School, Anna L. Carter undertook the challenge of organizing philanthropic clubs and after school programs, and would eventually become principal and namesake for a local elementary school. The streets went unpaved until the 1950s, and a full sewer and water project was completed by the early 1970s.[2]
