Our History  
Cheltenham's multi-ethnic community dates back to Quaker emigrants who settled in the area around 1690. Two of these new settlers came from Cheltenham, England, and thus the name was established.

Cheltenham is home to two historic districts, LaMott and Wyncote, as well as the historic Richard Wall House Museum and other distinctive architecture.
