Renting an Apartment in Chadd's Ford
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania is a small township 30 miles southwest of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in Delaware County. Prior to 1996, Chadds
Ford Township was known as Birmingham Township, Delaware County, the
name being changed as to allow the township to correspond to both its
census-designated place, and to reflect on its role in the Battle of the
Brandywine.
Chadds Ford was home to N.C. Wyeth, his son Andrew Wyeth and grandson
Jamie Wyeth. Brandywine Battlefield is located in the Township, along
with the Brandywine River Museum, which houses most of the Wyeth
collection.
Since the founding of the Chaddsford Winery in 1982, Chadds Ford has
become a center of viticulture and wine production.
