About
East Bradford Township is a 15.1-square-mile civil township in central Chester County, established by partition of Bradford Township in 1731 and bounded immediately west of West Chester Borough. The township has preserved roughly 6,000 acres—more than 60% of its land mass—through active conservation partnerships with the North American Land Trust, Brandywine Conservancy, and Natural Lands, a scale of open-space retention that distinguishes it from most Chester County municipalities that urbanized during the same period. Twelve separate named parks and nature areas, including Harmony Hill Nature Area (over 240 acres, 7 miles of trails) and Starr Farm Park (one of the last intact farmsteads in the Paradise Valley Historic District), are held under formal conservation easement and maintained by township staff, with the Brandywine Conservancy, Natural Lands, and the North American Land Trust all holding easements on township parkland.

What Makes This Distinct
East Bradford Township carries twelve entries on the National Register of Historic Places—including Strode’s Mill (built 1721), the Strode’s Mill Historic District (added 1989), Gibson’s Covered Bridge, and the Paradise Valley Historic District—and operates an active Historical Commission with a tiered Historic Resource Inventory; properties classified as Class 1 require township review and approval before any exterior alteration or demolition, a regulatory layer buyers of older homes must account for before committing to renovation plans.
