Few townships in Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to the Welsh settlement of Chester County as West Whiteland Township. Set in the broad Chester Valley, it includes Exton, a major local centre along U.S. Route 30, while Valley Creek rises nearby before flowing east toward Valley Forge. The present township emerged when the original Whiteland Township was divided into East and West Whiteland in 1742, reflecting the area’s colonial settlement pattern. Exton station and the surrounding road network now link this suburban community with Philadelphia and the wider county. Explore further places of interest via webcams throughout Chester County.
