Biographical notes:
New Garden Monthly Meeting was established in 1718 by Chester [Concord] Quarterly Meeting out of Newark [Kennett] Monthly Meeting. It was transferred to Western Quarterly Meeting in 1758. At the time of the Hicksite Separation of 1827, the monthly meeting split into Hicksite and Orthodox branches. New Garden Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) at West Grove was merged with West Grove Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) in 1955. New Garden Monthly Meeting (Hicksite), which reunited with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) in 1955, was the forerunner of the current monthly meeting.
