Chester Heights is a borough in Delaware County, most of which lies south of U.S. 1, about a mile southwest of Wawa, Pennsylvania. The population was 2,481 at the 2000 census. The borough has a total area of 2.1 square miles, all of it land. Chester Heights was formerly part of Aston Township. The northwestern portion of the township, was against a proposed tax hike, so they seceded from the township and formed the borough of Chester Heights. There are houses in the borough dating to 1720, though most of the oldest were built in 1777 when men, seperated from the rest of the Colonial army after the Battle of Brandywine joined together to form the community of Logtown, which still exists in present day Chester Heights.
