In the general election this November, Delaware County voters will have the unprecedented opportunity to protect the water, natural areas, and wildlife right in their own backyards.

In 1890, George Wood established a 1,000-acre farm at what is now Wawa Preserve. The fertile land was ideal grazing for Wood’s herd of Guernsey cows. The location allowed for delivery of fresh, raw milk to homes throughout the Philadelphia region. Thus, Wawa Dairy was founded.
The land became Wawa Preserve in 1973 when George Wood’s youngest daughter gifted a portion of the family’s “Home Farm” to Natural Lands.
The word “wawa” is an Ojibwe word meaning “wild goose” that was given to this area not by Native peoples but by a European settler who lived nearby.
