About
Marshallton is an unincorporated village and census-designated place in West Bradford Township, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986, with origins dating to the 1760s when it grew as a crossroads service center along what became Strasburg Road (PA Route 162). The historic district encompasses 65 contributing buildings and three contributing sites across approximately 102 acres, with the village core assuming its present linear configuration between the 1760s and the 1880s and scattered infill extending into the 1920s. West Bradford Township rezoned the village to a Traditional Neighborhood Development District (TND-2), which requires new construction to match the scale, height, and proportion of existing historic structures and restricts demolition of contributing buildings to special-exception approval — a regulatory framework that structurally limits the kind of incompatible redevelopment common in other Chester County communities.

What Makes This Distinct
Because Marshallton is both a National Register Historic District and subject to West Bradford Township’s TND-2 zoning overlay, any buyer or seller should verify whether a specific property is a ‘contributing resource’ to the district, as that classification affects permitted alterations, renovation scope, and resale positioning — factors that do not apply in ordinary residential transactions.
