About Chester, Virginia

Chester is a community of 23,414 people in Chesterfield County, in the Richmond and Petersburg area. Its first downtown was a stop where two railroads crossed. The Richmond and Petersburg line ran north and south, and the Clover Hill Railroad ran east and west. The Clover Hill road was later renamed the Brighthope Railway, and after that the Farmville and Powhatan Railroad.

In 1900 the Richmond and Petersburg joined the Atlantic Coast Line. That same year the Seaboard Air Line built a second north and south route through Chester, and in 1905 the old east and west line became the Tidewater and Western Railroad. The Seaboard's path is now Chester Linear Park. Many people who live in Chester now work elsewhere, and new shops have gone up where State Route 10 meets U.S. Route 1 near Interstate 95.

“George Washington visited Osbornes in 1791 during a national tour designed to afford citizens the opportunity to see their first national hero.”
