County founded August 24, 1682
Chester County was one of the three original Pennsylvania counties created by William Penn on August 24, 1682. It was named for Chester, England.
Chester County is home to many institutions of higher learning including Lincoln University, Penn State Great Valley and the University of Valley Forge.
Lincoln University (LU), founded in 1854, is a public state-related historically Black university near Oxford, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It has been a public institution since 1972 and was the United States’ first degree-granting HBCU.
Lincoln University’s motto is “If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” While a majority of its students are African Americans, the university has a long history of accepting students of other races and nationalities. Women have received degrees since 1953.
Lanchester Landfill, located on the border of Chester and Lancaster Counties, captures methane which is sold for renewable natural gas credits, and piped to seven local businesses. This reduces the county’s methane emissions.
Chester County is a tech leader in renewable energy. High-tech projects along with creative advances in technology has helped the local economy to grow.
In the spirit and talent of William Penn, local area creators are building the local startup infrastructure to grow advance commercial development throughout the county.
