== History ==
Somerton was originally called Smithfield,〔Martindale, Joseph C., ''A History of the Townships of Byberry and Moreland in Philadelphia, PA'', 1867, revised by Albert W. Dudley, 1901; p. 52, 159.〕 a village in Moreland Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Somerton was named for Jacob Sommer, whose family lived in the area for four generations.
The Somerton name appeared as the name of the local post office in 1830,〔Postmaster General, (''Table of the Post Offices in the United States Arranged by States and Counties; as They Were October 1, 1830'' ); 1831; accessed 12 September 2015; p. 102.〕 though some maps in the 1840s continued to show the place name as "Smithfield or Somerton".〔Ellet, Charles Jr., (''A Map of the County of Philadelphia from Actual Survey'' ), 1843; accessed 12 September 2015.〕〔Sidney, J. C., (''Plan of the townships of Byberry and Moreland, Phila. Co'y.'' ), 1849; accessed 12 September 2015.〕 By the 1850s, maps showed the area solely as Somerton.〔Barnes, R. L., (''New Map of the Consolidated City of Philadelphia'' ), 1855; accessed 12 September 2015.〕
