Downingtown
Downingtown is a borough in Chester County located west of Philadelphia. The town was originally named Milltown due to its number of mills along the East Branch Brandywine Creek. Milltown became more commonly known as Downingtown after the prominent businessman Thomas Downing, a Quaker immigrant from England, settled here in 1717 and owned a number of those mills. The town was officially named Downingtown in 1812.
The Downingtown School District is one of the top school districts in the state. It is also home to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Academy, a public high school and an IB World School. The school has a unique curriculum that prepares students for college education and careers in the STEM fields. The Stem Academy has consistently been at one of the highest-rated public high schools not only in the state, but the country.
There are also many parks and trails in the area including the popular Struble Trail. It is 2.6 miles long and follows the east branch of the Brandywine Creek as it flows towards Downingtown. Sitting on the original rail bed of the Waynesburg Rail Line, the trail is generally flat, and the terrain is considered low in user difficulty. Struble Trail connects to various neighborhoods’ trail systems and is often used to commute between home and work. Struble Trail is perfect for riding bicycles, running, hiking and walking. Picnic areas and rest stops are found at various locations, allowing visitors to stop and chat.
Downingtown is experiencing a revitalization with many new projects currently underway, as well as proposed projects which will enhance future growth and provide many types of opportunities for residents.
