Known As: Dublin Monthly Meeting until 1710
"Abington Monthly Meeting was established in 1683 by Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting as a monthly meeting for the meetings for worship at Tacony (Frankford) and Poetquesink or Poquessing (Byberry). From 1687 to 1710, this meeting was known as "Dublin". It was transferred to Abington Quarterly Meeting in 1786. At the time of the Hicksite Separation of 1827, two branches of this monthly meeting emerged. The Orthodox branch removed to Cheltenham in 1920 and was renamed "Cheltenham Monthly Meeting" in 1944. Cheltenham is currently an active monthly meeting. The Hicksite monthly meeting, which reunited with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Orthodox)in 1955, is the forerunner of the current Abington Monthly Meeting."
