A group of four or five houses on the Bristol Road in Warminster Township, a short distance below Hartsville. The only description of Babytown available is that of a Civil War veteran who in 1904 toured Warminster on foot after an absence of fifty years and made this note:

“After walking about a mile I came to a small village. Although I had never been in it, I knew by what I read in the newspapers it was ‘Babytown.’ I was somewhat disappointed, as I expected to see a woman sitting on every doorstep with a half dozen children around her. I saw but one ‘kid,’ and that was making noise enough to make up for what was missing.”
