West Chester

West Chester, Pennsylvania, a Quaker-settled county seat chartered in 1799, experienced significant architectural and cultural development in the 19th century under architects William Strickland and Thomas U. Walter, earning it the designation "The Athens of Pennsylvania." The borough's historic district, established in the 1980s and expanded in 2005 to cover nearly 80 percent of the borough, has become a model for preservation and heritage tourism, leading to its recognition as a National Trust for Historic Preservation Dozen Distinctive Destination in 2006 and Preserve America Community designation in 2006. Community preservation efforts include annual Town Tours and Village Walks programs and participation in Pennsylvania's Elm Street Project, which focuses on revitalizing historically significant neighborhoods like the East End, West Chester's largest African American community.
