More about this marker. Willow Street is an unincorporated place partially in Pequea Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This marker stands in Pequa Township. Wikipedia:
In the early part of the 20th century the main thoroughfare in town was lined with willow trees on both sides for the length of the town, hence the community's name. As time marched on and the town grew, the road was widened and sidewalks were installed which required the trees be removed. Only a few of the original trees remain to this day.
