It is one of the larger hamlets, located near the center of the township, and historically among the best known. The city of Coatesville is about 3 miles north. The name "Ercildoun" was taken from the poem, "Thomas the Rhymer" by Sir Walter Scott when the hamlet's post office opened in 1850, but it was misspelled "Ercildown" until 1854. The main character in the poem was Thomas of Ercildoun, from Ercildoune, Scotland.
