You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Cheyney''' is an [[unincorporated area|unincorporated community]] that sits astride [[Chester County, Pennsylvania|Chester]] and [[Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Delaware]] counties in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Pennsylvania]]. It corresponds to the [[census-designated place]] known as '''Cheyney University''', which had a population of 988 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]],<ref name="Census 2010">((cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US4213418| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Cheyney University CDP, Pennsylvania| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| access-date=December 30, 2015| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200213064150/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US4213418| archive-date=February 13, 2020| url-status=dead))</ref> and 565 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]].<ref name="Census 2020">((Cite web |url=https://data.census.gov/table/DECENNIALDP2020.DP1?g=160XX00US4213418 |title=Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics: 2020 Demographic Profile Data (DP-1): Cheyney University CDP, Pennsylvania |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=March 24, 2024))</ref> It is the home of [[Cheyney University of Pennsylvania]]. The university derives its name from George Cheyney's Farm, which became the current campus of Cheyney University in 1902.  George Cheyney's Farm and the surrounding area was part of the original land grant given to [[William Penn]] in 1681.

Originally, Cheyney was located at the intersection of what is now Creek and Cheyney Roads. The original "Cheyney's Shops" dated from the mid 18th century and were located on the north west and north east corners of the intersection of Creek and Cheyney Roads. The original Cheyney Post Office was located there as well as the general store, hotel, blacksmith shop and [[wheelsmith]]'s shop. There are old maps that show "Cheyney" to be located at the intersection of Creek (sometimes Tanguy) and Cheyney Roads. All the newer maps show the location of "Cheyney" to be on Station Road.
 
The Cheyney Family originally owned nearly 10,000 acres.

William Cheyney was the first postmaster in 1835. When the railroad came through Cheyney, the post office was moved to Station Road. The original station was located in a brick structure (now a private residence) that still stands on Station Road just east of Cheyney Road. The current station building is home to the Cheyney Post Office. The last remaining portion of the Cheyney's Shops are on the north east corner of Creek and Cheyney Roads. Cheyney University tore down all the original buildings located on the north west corner in the late 1960s or early 1970s. This group of buildings consisted of a hotel, general store/post office and blacksmith's shop as well as a large [[bank barn]]. A stone wheelwright's shop and two other related original buildings are located on the opposite corner and still survive today. These structures were purchased in 1847 from the Cheyney Family by William Maison. The wheelwright shop operated until 1918 when Samuel W. Maison, son of William Maison, died. In 1934 Mary Elizabeth Maison, daughter of William Maison, sold the structures and property.

Cheyney straddles the border between [[Thornbury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania|Thornbury Township in Chester County]] and [[Thornbury Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Thornbury Township in Delaware County]].  These townships were originally one township, which was bisected when Delaware County split from Chester County in 1789.  Both township offices are located along Cheyney Road next to the university.

The [[John Cheyney Log Tenant House and Farm]] and [[Melrose (Cheyney, Pennsylvania)|Melrose]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nris">((NRISref|version=2010a))</ref>
