About Chester Hill

Chester Hill is a quiet borough tucked along the western bank of Moshannon Creek in Clearfield County. Home to a little over 800 people, it is a small residential community with peaceful streets and modest single-family homes. The borough grew during the region's historic timber and brickmaking boom, and today it remains a calm, settled neighborhood where life moves at an easy pace.
