When Chester, Pennsylvania was first founded, the town’s main industry was manufacturing — primarily metal, machinery, textiles, locomotives, and refining oil. Because of these prosperous industries, the riverfront city grew quickly. And because of its ideal location, Chester remains both a populated and industrious suburb of Philadelphia. Less than 10 miles from Philadelphia International Airport, Chester’s location provides easy access to major roadways, has water frontage along the Delaware River, and features a well-developed public transportation system. In other words, if you want to explore the best that Pennsylvania has to offer, you can’t go wrong when you search for an RV in Delaware County.
