In the beginning the town was named Canal Creek after the waterway[4] from which the community received its water. Candland then changed the name to Chesterfield after his hometown in England; it was later reduced to Chester.[8] Chester had its own post office until 1967.[9] In August 1885, the San Pete Valley Railway completed its tracks as far south as Chester and began regular service to Nephi (via Moroni and Fountain Green); however, passenger service would not offered until after the "Station House" was completed.[10] The railway ran north-south through the western part of the community, at about 3300 East. The railway was acquired by Union Pacific Railroad in 1890 and extended farther south to Manti by 1984. The railway was taken over by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) in 1908 and became known as the D&RG San Pete Valley Branch. The branch was later abandoned by the D&RG (by then known as the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad) in 1947,[10] leaving the Marysvale Branch, through Spring City, as the nearest rail service.
