Upper Chichester is a township located in Delaware County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Spanning 6.7 sq miles, the township is home to a population of over 16,800 residents and is located in the Delaware Valley Metropolitan Area, which is anchored by Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth-largest by population in the United States. Upper Chichester was founded in 1700 after the original township of Chichester was divided into two different sections, an Upper and a Lower. Over the next 60 years, legal battles and legislation challenged the split, but it was resolved by 1759 and by 1760 was officially its own township.

Auto Transport Tips to and from Upper Chichester
Upper Chichester is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, just north of the Delaware border. It is a minor suburb of Philadelphia but sits within the Delaware Valley Metropolitan Area, which Philadelphia anchors. This in turn makes it more popular among carriers than it would be if it did not sit near a major city, but at the same time access to the area may not be as easy due to the fact that most of the area is suburban and might present challenges in terms of getting an 80-ft auto transport truck into or out of the township. You should talk to a live agent about your shipment to learn more about this, and ways you may be able to save time and money on shipping into or out of Upper Chichester.
At the same time, Upper Chichester sits right along the path of I-95, a major north-south interstate that connects most major cities in the eastern states together in one straight line that stretches from northern Maine to southern Florida. This gives auto transport companies a lot of options when traveling through the area, though depending on the route you may want to meet your shipper somewhere else in the Philadelphia area for pickup or delivery. Its location won’t affect your prices or services all that much, as it’s not far to Philadelphia proper, but you could save some time on your shipment by meeting your carrier somewhere more convenient.
