The rolling, wooded countryside around Kennett Township belongs to southeastern Pennsylvania’s Piedmont, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and agricultural economy. The township forms part of the Brandywine Valley region, associated with the Brandywine River and Chester County’s rural heritage. Its best-known cultural landmark is Longwood Gardens, developed after industrialist Pierre S. du Pont bought the property in 1906; its formal grounds, conservatory and performing-arts programme attract an international public. Kennett Township also shares in the mushroom-growing tradition centred on nearby Kennett Square, an industry long associated with this part of Pennsylvania.
