The area that became known as Kennett Square was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native American tribe. Once colonized, the town was named Kennett Square, a reference to Kennett, Wiltshire, England, with "Square" referring to the original land grant from William Penn, which was one square mile. In 1777, during the American Revolutionary War, Sir William Howe, a British Army general, led troops through Kennett Square on their way to the Battle of Brandywine.
In the 19th century, the borough played an instrumental role in the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape the South for freedom. In 1853, a group asked for Kennett Square to be incorporated, and by 1855, it held elections.
Kennett Square's founder is credited with introducing mushroom growing to the area. He grew carnations, a popular local commodity beginning in 1885, and wanted to make use of the wasted space under the elevated beds. He imported spawn from Europe and started experimenting with mushroom cultivation.
Kennett Square is the subject and setting of The Story of Kennett, an 1866 novel by Bayard Taylor, who was born in Kennett Square.
