With it's excellent location and transportation system, diverse economy along with an outstanding school and health care system, Chester County is a wonderful place to live. The recreational and cultural facilities combine with an idyllic mix of small town, rural and suburban communities to help create a gracious and desirable life sytle.

In 1692 the county was carved out from lands granted to William Penn by King Charles II and settled on by British Quakers and later by German immigrants.

Yearly cultural events include the West Chester Festival of the Arts, Turks Head Music Festival, Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration and the ever popular Chester County Restaurant Festival.
