Chester Named Among 'Most Charming' Towns In New Jersey

Chester, N.J. – Anyone who’s been to Chester Borough knows about its charm and beauty. Now it’s being recognized statewide.

Essex Home Improvements has compiled a list of the 30 most charming towns in the Garden State, and, of course, Chester Borough made the list at number six.

The borough with a population of just over 1,600 was the only Morris County town on the list.

According to the ranking:

“While driving along picturesque Route 206, it’s worth taking a short detour to Chester. The charming small town’s Main Street is lined with good looking shops and restaurants, and is therefore a perfect place for a nice stroll. Those with a sweet tooth shouldn’t miss Taylor’s Ice Cream Parlor, complete with white benches, or the cotton candy store — one of only two in the whole country! Pick up a treasure from imagiNations, a unique boutique that sells gifts from all around the world before stopping for some delicious homemade soup at Maria’s.”
