Parkesburg

Parkesburg combines a compact borough centre with the practical character of a rail-side community in a way that reflects its position in rural western Chester County. The town lies in the watershed of the East Branch Octoraro Creek, amid the farmland and low, rolling terrain of southeastern Pennsylvania. Railways have shaped Parkesburg since the 19th century, and the line through town remains part of the busy corridor between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Its historic district preserves streetscapes of brick homes, shops and civic buildings that recall its development as a railroad town.
