Промышленная история
Эддистоун имеет историю тяжелой промышленности. Арсенал Эддистоун стал крупнейшим заводом Baldwin Locomotive Works (меньший находился в Спринг-Гарден, Филадельфия). Baldwin когда-то был крупнейшим производителем паровозов в мире. Сегодня часть прибрежной территории занимает электростанция Exelon. Компания Platt LePage Aircraft Company построила одни из первых роторных аппаратов на прилегающей земле к северо-востоку (за пределами поселка). Связь с военными вертолетами сохранилась через McDonnell Aircraft и McDonnell Douglas вплоть до настоящего времени, поскольку там сейчас работает завод Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Во время Первой мировой войны Remington Arms открыла завод по производству винтовок Eddystone на земле, принадлежащей Baldwin, под управлением Baldwin. Здесь производились винтовки образца 1914 Enfield и M1917 Enfield. Большая часть винтовок, использовавшихся американскими солдатами во Франции в Первой мировой войне, была произведена в Эддистоне. В январе 1918 года Remington Arms была поглощена компанией Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company, которая взяла на себя управление заводом по производству винтовок. Baldwin также основала дочернюю компанию (Eddystone Ammunition Corporation) в 1915 году для производства артиллерийских снарядов (русской модели по британскому заказу). Памятник на сельском кладбище Честера посвящен неизвестным жертвам. В 1917 году правительство США также разместило заказы на артиллерийские снаряды и выкупило часть активов корпорации Eddystone Ammunition. Baldwin создала новую корпорацию с аналогичным названием – Eddystone Munitions Company – для производства осколочных снарядов.
Религия
Едистоунская объединенная методистская церковь была основана в 1891 году и изображена выше. Семья Симпсон (Уильям Симпсон и сыновья из Eddystone Print Works (1873)) были основными спонсорами и жертвователями. Римско-католическая архиепископия Филадельфии управляет католическими церквями. Церковь Святой Розы Лимы, основанная в 1890 году, находится в Эддистоне. Количество прихожан увеличилось на 20% с 2008 по 2012 год, достигнув 4158 человек в 2012 году.
Культура
В Эддистоне расположена штаб-квартира ассоциации выпускников средней школы для мальчиков имени Святого Джеймса, в здании которой есть банкетный зал, бар и часовня. Тимоти Лоуг из Delaware County Daily Times назвал это здание «фактическим музеем всего, что связано со школой Святого Джеймса».
Транспортировка
По состоянию на 2010 год в Эддистоне насчитывалось 6,72 мили (11 км) общественных дорог, из которых 1,86 мили (3 км) содержались Департаментом транспорта Пенсильвании (PennDOT), а 4,86 мили (8 км) – администрацией боро. Через Эддистоун проходят два автомагистрали с номерами: федеральная трасса 13 следует по Честер Пайк с юго-запада на северо-восток вдоль северо-западной границы боро, а трасса 291 штата Пенсильвания следует по Индустриальной автомагистрали по аналогичному направлению через центр боро. Станция Эддистоун – это железнодорожная станция SEPTA на линии Уилмингтон/Ньюарк. Эддистоун обслуживается автобусным маршрутом 37 SEPTA, обеспечивающим сообщение с международным аэропортом Филадельфии и Южной Филадельфией, и автобусным маршрутом 114, обслуживающим транспортный центр Честера и кампус Пенсильванского государственного университета Brandywine.
