The division line between Upper Uwchlan and West Vincent is perhaps one of the strangest municipal borders in Chester County, and it tells a fascinating story. The Upper Uwchlan thumb-as we’ll call it-is the product of empire, business ambitions, beaver furs, and even unpaid taxes! It was supposed to play an important role in the New Mediterranean Sea Company’s grandiose plan to purchase 100,000 acres stretching from the Schuylkill River all the way to the Great Lakes (what investors dubbed as the “new” Mediterranean Sea), but the plan never came to fruition. Instead, the land was neglected and involved in complicated legal matters with the Penn Family. Learn more about the fascinating history of this unique municipal border in our new video.
