_ TOWNSHIP HISTORY Back to Brief History "Swedish Cabin" The Swedes are thought to be the original settlers of the area now known as Upper Darby. About 100 swedes lived in the colony in 1653. The Lower Log Cabin (c.1654), located on Creek Road along the Darby Creek, is believed by many to be a remnant of the early Swedes, who introduced the log cabin to this area. Today the "Swedish Cabin" is designated with a Pennsylvania Historical Marker. The cabin is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
