About Abington
Tucked away in rural Wayne County, Abington is a quiet crossroads community rooted in early 19th-century Quaker heritage. Founded in 1817 and named after a Pennsylvania Quaker meetinghouse, the area has held onto its peaceful character for over two centuries. It offers rolling farmland, historic homesteads, and a relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere that feels well removed from the rush of daily life.
Life here revolves around scenic country lanes, local landmarks like Locust Grove Cemetery, and gentle waterways like Elkhorn and Locust Creeks winding through the pastures. While Abington is a small, unincorporated pocket of homes and farms, U.S. Route 27 runs close by, giving residents an easy drive to nearby Richmond for shopping, dining, and work. It is a great setting for anyone seeking serene country living with a strong sense of local history.
