Old tax assessment records, dating from 1860 to the late 1870’s, show that Witticomville, sometimes spelled Witticombville, existed near what today is Henderson and Ross Roads, the site of the UMT building. The origin of the name of this village is not known. In 1871, a store and wheelwright shop were recorded on tax assessment records. By 1893, John Hampton was the owner of an 83 acre tract there which was known as Kenilworth Farm. (Courtesy of the King of Prussia Historical Society)
