Originally, the Lenape Valley Native Americans dwelled in present-day Chalfont.

 

In 1683, William Penn signed a treaty with the local chief and parceled the land to the Free Society of Traders.

 

In 1720, Simon Butler bought over 150 acres of land, including the "Village of Chalfont."

 

Between then and 1901, Chalfont held several names, including Butler's Mill, Kungle's Tavern, Barndtsville, and Whitehallville.

 

For many years, the most important building in the area was the tavern and public house, which has burnt down many times and now stands as the Pop Inn.

 

During the Victorian era, a train-station was built which helped the community grow and brought about the construction of the many Victorian houses.

​

It offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere for its residents to call home.

 

With an array of local shops, restaurants, and parks, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

 

The community is friendly and welcoming, filled with people who take pride in their town’s history and charm.
