History
Downingtown is a borough in Chester County, Pennsylvania, 33 miles west of Philadelphia, PA. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 7,891. Downingtown was settled by English and European colonists in the early 18th century and has a number of historic buildings and structures.
The town was originally named Milltown due to its number of mills along the East Branch Brandywine Creek, the first of which was founded by Daniel Butter. The Butter family also had paper mills in the area, and Frederick Bicking from Winterburg, Germany, was the patriarch of the Bicking paper families. Around the time of the American Revolution, Milltown became more commonly known as Downingtown after the prominent businessman Thomas Downing, a Quaker immigrant in 1717 from Bradninch, Devon, England, who owned a number of those mills.
The town was officially named Downingtown in 1812.
Local Growth
The city has initiated some widespread and continuing renovation in downtown, particularly to the streets cape. Private owners have similarly renovated many commercial buildings. There has also been residential development on recovered industrial lands (brown fields) in the southeastern part of the borough.
Downingtown is the location of some large regional and national businesses, including DNB (Downingtown National Bank), First National Bank of Chester County, and Victory Brewing Company. In 1988, a stall in its farmer’s market was the first place where pretzels were sold by the founders of Auntie Anne’s, now a global company with 1,000 stores and $375 million in annual sales.
