Description
Chester County used to be one of the most three original counties established by William Penn, giving it an extended history of settlement and growth. Around Avondale and West Grove features historic postcards from Avondale, BakerÂ’s Station, Chatham, West Grove, and the encircling area. Jennersville, positioned in Penn Township, has close ties to the rose industry begun in London Grove. This area used to be a wealthy agricultural district that had many nurseries (including certainly one of world renown), creameries, mushroom farms, horse farms, an experimental farm for research, and other agricultural ventures. White Clay Creek, now a federally designated wild and scenic river, supported many mills. Granite and marble equipped the quarry industry. The townshipÂ’s location along the primary highways between Lancaster, Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore made it crucial route for commerce.
