Chester

Chester occupies the western bank of the Delaware River in southeastern Pennsylvania, between Philadelphia and the Delaware state line. Once a busy manufacturing and shipbuilding centre, the city developed around a waterfront that still defines its relationship with the river. The settlement was known as Upland when William Penn landed here in 1682; he renamed it Chester after the English city. The Old Chester Courthouse, completed in 1724, provides a direct link to the colonial era, while riverfront Subaru Park is home to Major League Soccer’s Philadelphia Union.
