The population was 6,454 at the 2010 census,[2] down from 6,594 at the 2000 census. It originated as a bedroom community of Philadelphia. It is located within {{convert|10|mi|0}} of Center City, Philadelphia, with convenient rail access (SEPTA, and connection to Amtrak). HistoryIn 1874, John Cochran of Chester purchased 103 acres from Joshua Pierson with the intention of dividing the property into lots and selling them.[3] These properties formed the current community of Prospect Park. Prospect Hill Baptist Church in Prospect Park claims a prominent role in instituting the phrase "In God We Trust" on United States coins and currency. A former pastor, Mark R. Watkinson, felt that the Civil War was going to leave the country with a bad name, "brother fighting brother in a civil war", and wrote a letter to Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, suggesting "God, Liberty, Law," be put on the coins. Chase referred the matter to James B. Longacre, Mint Engraver. A committee later settled on "In God We Trust", and the words first appeared on a 2-cent coin. A plaque on the outside of the church announces the birthplace of the phrase. The Morton Homestead, one of the oldest buildings in Pennsylvania, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[4] The Park Square, located between 9th and 10th streets, is becoming a central focal point of the town. Our annual Fourth of July parade goes around our town and ends up at the Park Square. There are also musical events on Tuesdays during the summer months. The types vary from String bands to classical to rock and pop. Fun fact, the Park Square pavilion in the center of the park is the main backdrop for numerous wedding pictures. Also, the yearly prom goers for Interboro High School meet at the Park to get pictures taken as well as to board their busses for the dance. Plenty to do including a basketball court, swing sets, and sliding boards.
