History
Like neighboring Sharpley, Woodbrook and Tavistock, Edenridge was developed by Woodlawn Trustees. The neighborhoods were included in the master plan for development of the Brandywine Hundred created by Charles Wellford Leavitt in 1922. When originally laid in the mid-1960s the neighborhood was 11 streets on 52 acres. Land sales from the properties were used to subsidize the maintenance of Woodlawn housing in the Flats neighborhood in Wilmington. The first house went up in 1966. Many of the homes were custom or semi-custom built for the original owners. Deed restrictions were established in 1964. In 1994, many residents felt that regulations originally imposed by Woodlawn Trustees were beneficial.
