Beaver Falls & Chippewa Township

Initially known as Brighton Township, which was laid out as a town in 1806, Beaver Falls was incorporated as a borough on November 9, 1868. In 1930, Beaver Falls was incorporated as a third-class city, the only one in Beaver County.

Beaver Falls is often called a "small city with a big heart." Our early multicultural background has given rise to a melting pot of ethnic diversity that can be found in our extensive number of churches, social organizations, and a friendly, welcoming community of people who will make you feel comfortable and safe.

Founded in 1816, Chippewa Township is located in the northwestern part of Beaver County and shares the ZIP code 15010 with Beaver Falls. It is close to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 376, which are a direct route to the Pittsburgh International Airport and downtown Pittsburgh.

Residents can readily take advantage of big-city cultural opportunities while residing in a small community atmosphere. Their population has prospered from its continued growth to 7,700.

Chippewa Township also boasts the Beaver County Airport, retail shops, banking, dining, medical facilities, and places of worship. It recently opened a new 90-acre nature park with walking trails and a fishing pond, and it plans to start a new 120-acre recreation park.

The Blackhawk School District, known for its tradition of excellence, also serves the community. Chippewa Township has created a safe place to live and raise a family.
