Easttown Twp

Township in Pennsylvania

Easttown Township is a township in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 10,477 at the 2010 census.

The land that eventually became Easttown Township was once part of the Welsh Tract, a large expanse of the land promised by William Penn to a group of Welsh Quaker settlers in which they would be able to speak and conduct business in the Welsh language. While the autonomous entity envisioned by some was never formed, it left its mark in the many Welsh place names that still exist, such as the Berwyn, in Easttown, and nearby Tredyffrin Township.
