The West Chester Business Improvement District (BID)
was established in 2000 and renewed in 2005 and
2010 to fund and implement programs that reflect three
general goals:
• Increase customer traffic and sales.
• Retain, expand and recruit viable businesses.
• To advocate the interests of downtown
to government agencies.
N ST
• Yield to pedestrians at intersections and crossings.
Architecture
The entire downtown district is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Enjoy the Greek Revival architecture along High
Street that gave West Chester the nickname Athens of the West.
Stroll along brick sidewalks past the building where Abraham
Lincoln began his quest for the presidency; where the great
African-American folk artist Horace Pippin lived and painted;
where America's preeminent composer Samuel Barber was born
and raised (best known for his Adagio for String Orchestra); and
actors Claude Raines and Eva Marie Saint spent their days.
History
Since 1762, when the Turks Head Inn first offered refreshment
to weary travelers, West Chester has been a place of hospitality
to visitors from around the world. It became the seat for Chester
County in 1786, its current boundaries were established in 1788
and incorporated as a borough in 1799.

Philadelphia

the recreation & transportation infrastructure in Chester
County through advocacy & education.

that prompted The Philadelphia Inquirer to call West Chester,
"one of the world's most perfect small towns" (July 26, 2001).
