West Chester, originally known as Turk's Head, has been the Chester County Seat for over two centuries. The Battle of Brandywine was fought on September 11, 1777 less than 10 miles away, and is remembered as the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War.
West Chester's Downtown Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and reflects the small-town charm the borough is famous for. First Bank's West Chester branch is located in the middle of the borough's thriving business district.
West Chester is convenient to major roadways Routes 100, 202, 322, and 3, and is also home to West Chester University.
