Charlestown Township has been a rural township in Chester County since 1737. Its rolling, wooded setting lies in Pennsylvania’s Great Valley, northwest of Philadelphia, where Pickering Creek crosses the local terrain before joining the Schuylkill River near Phoenixville. Charlestown State Park preserves a broad section of this creek valley, with trails through woodland and former fields. Dispersed roads, farms and residential areas give the township a low-density character despite the proximity of Philadelphia’s western suburbs.
