History
Bethel Township, PA is a township in Delaware County, PA. It contains the two unincorporated communities of Booth’s Corner and Chelsea. The population was 8,791. Bethel Township was the smallest of all the original townships of Chester County, Pennsylvania. The township is mentioned as early as 1683 and means “House of God”. In 1683, Edward Beazer and Edward Brown had 500 acres surveyed to them in the northeasterly end of the township. On this tract, Bethel hamlet, afterwards known as Corner Catch (Ketch), is the location of the current village of Chelsea. In 1686, the road now known as Bethel Road was laid out from Bethel to Chichester (Marcus Hook).
The settlers of Bethel Township were among the earliest settlers of the Pennsylvania Colony, and many were members of the Religious Society of Friends, or “Quakers”.

Robert Pyle, a leader of the Society of Friends, was almost continuously a member of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly from 1688 until 1705.
In 1759, residents of Bethel Township paid “a bounty” of ten pounds “in behalf of the township” along with a wagon and supplies of oats and flour to General John Forbes based on his request to Chester and other counties in the province to support an army about to march to Fort Duquesne under his command.
In 1777, after the Battle of Brandywine, the British Army passed through Bethel Township on Old Concord Road as they chased the retreating Continental Army toward Chester and encamped at nearby Birmingham and Aston. Residents of Bethel were “annoyed and plundered” by the British army and many residents were left entirely without food.
