The Neighborhood: West Chester is a historic community that has a small-town charm with a cosmopolitan flair. It is located just an hour west of Philadelphia and is well known for its walk-ability. The community was settled more than 300 years ago as part of the Welsh Tract which was established by William Penn. In 1762, it began to grow into a crossroads village called The Turks Head, after a tavern of the same name. The village became the seat for Chester County in 1786. The name West Chester was officially adopted in 1788 by the Pennsylvania Assembly, which also established the current boundaries. Finally, in 1799, it became the first borough in Chester County and had a population of 374. Today, it remains the same size as it was then (1.8 square miles), but the population has grown to over 20,000.
