Media Borough, a municipality of
approximately three-quarters of a square
mile, is located at the center of Delaware
County and has served as the County seat
since the time of its establishment in 1850.
The Borough is defined by the distinct
character of its residential and business
districts. Walkable neighborhoods, a variety
of shopping and dining options and an
employment base in the public, private and
nonprofit sectors make Media virtually a
self-sufficient community, and it is this
bustling, small-town atmosphere that
attracts visitors from across the region to the
business district.
The economy of the Borough is buoyed
by a wide range of government, professional
and service sector jobs, with an employment
count that may be twice as large as the
number of Borough residents. The role of
Media as the county seat in Delaware County
helps the Borough maintain a significant
daytime population of workers and visitors,
though it is the multitude of retail shops,
services and dining establishments located
along Baltimore Avenue and State Street
in the central business district. This mix of
businesses separates Media's economy from
other neighboring municipalities.
Community events, theater and diverse
culture encourage the involvement and
engagement of the greater Media community.
Numerous Borough-sponsored and
nonprofit organizations and committees
coordinate Borough events and initiatives,
including the promotion of the arts, Fair
Trade practices (Media is the first "Fair
Trade" town in the U.S.) and energy
conservation. Media's inclusive appeal as
"Everybody's Hometown," and its high
level of civic engagement attracts residents
from neighboring communities to become
involved in local organizations and events.
