Rydal is an unincorporated community in Abington Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. Rydal is predominantly residential, except for one large shopping area. The Abington campus of Penn State is located in Rydal. The Rydal train station was a stop on the Reading Railroad line, beginning in the late 19th century, and now is part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system on the West Trenton Line.
Old York Road Historical Society (OYRHS) maintains an archive of the history of the area. It reported that the Rydal Train Station was originally called "Benezet." However, the station and the area were renamed after Rydal and Keswick in the United Kingdom.
