The population was 12,187 at the 2017 census. Chester contains a village, also called Chester. Chester is the birthplace of Philadelphia-style cream cheese.[3] HistoryThe town was first settled by Europeans in the 1700s, made up of ethnic Dutch and English colonists.[4] The economy of the early town was based on dairy products, particularly milk. This industry flourished because completion of the Erie Railroad in 1841, which ran through Chester, enabled local farmers to ship their prices to New York City, where demand was high. For instance, local farmer Phil Gregory would ship 240 quarts ({{convert|240|usqt|l|disp=output only}}) of milk by train to New York City. The railroad earned $1.20 (${{inflation|US|1.2|1841|2017}} in modern dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}) in freight charges; Gregory's business eventually grew to 300,000 quarts ({{convert|300000|usqt|l|disp=output only}}) of milk per day, which in turn gave the railroad over $1,000 (${{formatnum:{{inflation|US|1000|1841|2017|r=-3}}}} in modern dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}) in profit.[4] Late 20th century to presentIn 2018, the Town of Chester approved a large residential development. It learned that the development appeared to be targeted toward the Satmar Hasidim community, whose rapid growth in this area had caused tensions. The large families of the Orthodox created strains for the local public school system, and there were other tensions between the strict Kiryas Joel and neighboring communities. Town supervisor Alex Jamieson told a local newspaper that the town would be buying up areas of undeveloped open space, including around the planned development in Chester, in order "to keep the Hasidic out so that they can't control the Town Board."[8] His comments were widely reported and criticized by The Forward as antisemitic.[5][6] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 25.2 square miles (65.4 km²), of which, 25.2 square miles (65.2 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km2) of it (0.24%) is water.
