Named for the Ojibwe word for "goose" (taken from The Song of Hiawatha), Wawa is the location of the corporate headquarters for Wawa Dairy,which operates convenience stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. It was originally known as Grubb's Bridge. Ashmead's 1884 "History of Delaware County" depicts the Edward Worth estate called "Wawa" here, and it is possible the name came to be applied to the whole community.
