(from the Chester County website)
Residents of Chester County truly have the best of both worlds. The County's small towns include the County seat of Chester, and the smaller incorporated communities of Richburg, Great Falls, Lowrys and Fort Lawn. All offer a low cost of living, a rural setting and less than a 30 minute drive to the Charlotte Metropolitan Area. Ideally situated, these communities offer Chester Countians an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and small town living while frequenting all of the cultural and entertainment endeavors offered by America's 20th largest city. Chester County and its county seat, the town of Chester, were named for Chester County, Pennsylvania.
