Wyndmoor, originally called "Tedyuscung", is the subject of many Native American legends. It is believed the original Native American name did not translate to the English language and it was renamed "Windmoor", referencing the winds blowing through the valleys and over the rolling hills[citation needed]. It was the site of Whitemarsh Hall, the 300-acre estate of banking executive Edward T. Stotesbury. Whitemarsh Hall was demolished in 1980, but small pieces of it are preserved in the neighborhoods of Wyndmoor.
