Paoli. The town was named for the Paoli Tavern, which was itself named for the Corsican General Pasquale Paoli. The town's historical significance is that the British routed Continental troops in the Battle of Paoli on September 20, 1777. The town later became a stop on the "Main Line" of the Pennsylvania Railroad and a haven for wealthy businessmen who wanted to live outside downtown Philadelphia but remain close enough to work in the city.
