Exton, Pennsylvania
Exton is a census-designated place (CDP) in West Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located within the Philadelphia metropolitan area, its population was 5,622 at the 2020 census.
Exton is situated at the intersection of two major highways, U.S. Route 30 and Pennsylvania Route 100, and is home to several retail centers, including the Exton Square Mall.
Exton lies at the intersection of U.S. Route 30 (Lincoln Highway) and Pennsylvania Route 100 (Pottstown Pike). Beginning in the late 18th century, the Lancaster Road became a major transportation route between Philadelphia and the west, while what is now Route 100 was a regional north–south route to Pottstown. A theory exists that Exton was named as the "X" on the map, denoting this intersection, though more likely the village was named after one of the several Extons in the United Kingdom.
In the late 1940s, Exton became home to the Newcomen Society of the United States. The campus of the learned society was built overlooking farmland on Newcomen Road, and featured offices, a printing shop, library and museum, guest houses, a chapel and a belltower with a carillon. The Newcomen Society (since dissolved) sold the property in the late 1990s, but its campus remains an Exton landmark serving as the headquarters of another business.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.2 square miles (8.3 km2), all land.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Exton has a hot-summer humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfa" on climate maps.
As of the 2020 U.S. census, the racial makeup of the CDP was 62.5% White non-Hispanic, 3.8% Black of African American, 31.5% Asian, 0.9% two or more races, and 1.3% were Hispanic or Latino.
As of the census of 2000, there were 4,267 people, 2,053 households, and 1,096 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 1,341.6 inhabitants per square mile (518.0/km2). There were 2,128 housing units at an average density of 669.1 per square mile (258.3/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 88.07% White, 4.05% African American, 0.14% Native American, 6.05% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.54% from other races, and 1.12% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.87% of the population.
