Smith's mill served as a stop along the Brandywine Canal until 1827. In 1825, James Buchanan built a gristmill on Mill Creek that became known as Buchanan's Mill. The town grew around this mill until it was destroyed by fire in 1865. A new gristmill was erected nearby and named after James Buchanan.

Narberth became an incorporated borough in 1892 and had its own post office until it merged with East Norriton in 1907.

Today, Narberth is primarily a residential community with some businesses located along Main Street ( Pennsylvania Route 100).
