This colony was named Pennsylvania, or Penn's Woods. The Township of London Britain was organized in 1725 from a tract of land belonging to the London Company of Great Britain.〔(London Britain Township ), Retrieved 2010-01-04.〕 The southernmost part of the township was originally disputed territory between Pennsylvania and Maryland, resolved eventually by the Mason–Dixon line. The southernmost section of the township formed the northern section of New Munster, a large settlement tract established by Maryland and named after the southern province of Munster in Ireland. New Munster acted as an early genesis point and catalyst for large Scotch-Irish settlement and expansion into Chester County and points west in Pennsylvania.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pennsylvania: Scotch-Irish Centre )〕 Lunn's Tavern and the Thompson Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
