Demographics and History

Home to almost 15,000 people, Phoenixville is located in Chester County just a few miles outside of the Philadelphia metro area. The town sits on the Schuylkill River and is widely known for its beautiful 19th Century architecture. In addition to historic homes, there are walking trails, covered bridges, and other sites that are perfect for visitors and residents who wish to explore the many leisure opportunities Phoenixville has to offer.

Economics

Like many cities in this part of Pennsylvania, Phoenixville was once home to steel and iron mills. Today it largely serves as a suburb of Philadelphia; many residents live here for the relative safety and quiet but commute to jobs in the city. There is a small but thriving downtown commercial district, and the Phoenixville Area Chamber of Commerce represents hundreds of businesses across Northeastern Chester County and Western Montgomery County.

Sports and Recreation

Phoenixville residents have access to an excellent system of local parks, playgrounds, and recreational programs, and to Evansburg State Park, French Creek State Park, and Marsh Creek State Park as well. For professional sports entertainment, Philadelphia is about half an hour away and offers the NFL?s Philadelphia Eagles, the NHL?s Philadelphia Flyers, and the NBA?s Philadelphia 76ers.

Arts and Culture

For artistic and cultural entertainment, Phoenixville residents enjoy everything the Philadelphia area has to offer: The Institute of Contemporary Art, the Museum of American Art, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Prince Music Theatre, Ortlieb?s Jazz Haus, The Pennsylvania Ballet, the Theatre of Living Arts, and the Keswick Theatre. The city has its own interesting cultural attractions as well, including the Canal Day festival and Valley Forge National Historic Park.
