Havertown is also known for its large Irish American population. Many Irish-Americans still live there today leading to some calling Havertown "The 33rd County" in reference to the 32 counties of Ireland. In fact, according to the 1990 census Havertown had the highest percentage of Irish surnames in the country. The neighborhood takes pride in its distinct Irish heritage and is home to many Irish bars and shops. For these reasons this Irish-American neighborhood remains a very popular destination for Irish Immigrants.
